I guess I’m stuck in the 19th century. Silly me, I thought it was the job of the author to write and of the PUBLISHER to sell.

I attended the Digital Book World Discoverability and marketing conference this week and was inspired to write 2 blogs based on what I learned and observed. The first: The Future of Discoverability is Cloudy with a Chance of Rain (http://bit.ly/SknxEn), takes the content of the conference and forms predictions about the future of book discoverability. The second: Confessions of a Book Promotion Junkie- Unfound, (http://bit.ly/VRqdhj) takes a more practical approach and reveals tips every author and publisher should know and employ to improve the chances of discoverability.

Hope this is helpful!

Over the last few years, agent blogs have become a primary way for me to discover new fiction. I take special note if you are promoting something of interest to me, but the real treasure seems to come from the comments; I always come away with more book titles than I could read right away!

For non-fiction, I’ll get interested in a certain topic, and then either want to read everything by a certain author, or will hunt down the works they cite.
