MISS CHEYENNE MITCHELL HAS MORE ADVICE FOR NEW AUTHORS

Well, we all know as new Authors how hard it is to get your novel out there into the market for millions to see. I am not a new Author, but this aint my first rodeo either.  I cannot tell you how important editing is for your novel. It can make or break a novel.  I believe the worst novel that I've ever read was "DANCES WITH WOLVES" and look how that turned out.  However, editing is extremely important, and it is hard for us as Authors to do it on our own.  Yet, if you have to pay someone else to do it, it is worth it.  I had to find that out the hard way with my first novel, IN THE LIGHT OF DARKNESS, which I plan to have re-published.  The use of Twitter can be very important to a new Author when you are trying to reach a lot of people as well.  We all know that there is a lot of junk on Twitter. And if you've ever been on there you know what I'm talking about.  But you can use Twitter for business.  Also, a lot of celebrities use Twitter. I have the good fortune to have a Justin Bieber fan following me, or who knows, it could be him, himself. I don't know yet.   The point is it's good for advertising, and that's what you want.  Book reviews are also extremely important to Authors as they are publicity.  When you are going after a book review (and try to get as many as you can), stay in your genre.  In other words, don't go to a Reviewer or Writer of Romance novels if you write in the Horror genre, or the Supernatural Thriller genre. If you do, the review will not be fair.  Stay in your genre when going after book reviewers.  Bookreviewlist.com is a very good place to start. The cost is $99.00 per novel, but they have a data base of over 3,000 book reviewers.  Also, they cover your novel is newspapers, magazines, etc. which is where you as an Author want your book to be reviewed.  Remember, nothing happens overnight. It takes time and work to get out there.  Trust in your work as well as in yourself.  If you know you're good others will know it, too, once they see your work. Try to get into places like www.goodreads.com where there are many many great Novelists and Authors as well as Reviewers.   If you don't have a blog go on google and get one.  Make your blog informative and helpful or useful to people who are going to see it. As I learn more I will gladly share more.  I hope this helps you in some small way on becoming the millionaire you strive to be, as I strive to be one myself. Oops!  A billionaire!!!
