Because the reader must know the author, to know what to ask. Because the reader must like the author, otherwise he will ask trivial questions. Because otherwise the reader would be giving free publicity to an author they don't like (and it doesn't seem right to me). Ask to recommend your book I have received dozens of requests for book recommendations from debut authors. In a couple of cases I accepted, because in this blog I also talk about books in general and not about reviews like in the other one ( Books to read ).
In the first case I wasn't even thanked by the author. In the second case it was the publishing house that reported the book to me, but by writing to me on the other blog. The book was by a famous author and so I agreed to report it here and the publishing house Special Data thanked me (and even gave the book away, let's face it). Asking a blogger to report their book on the blog has the same effect on me as begging. The report will in fact be begging for a link, a little article, but it will never have the same flavor as the spontaneous one. Advertise on Facebook indiscriminately I have already talked about Facebook in the previous article.
But this social network should be used with moderation. I talked about creating a fan page about your book, which can bring interesting contacts and comments. However, using Facebook indiscriminately is harmful, both for your image as a writer and for that of your book. Avoid recommending your page to all contacts: it can be mistaken for spam. After all, your book has a cost, it is a product. Spam, in Italy, is a crime, keep that in mind. But beyond that, spam is always annoying. Avoid placing the book profile link on all fan pages and Facebook groups that deal with books: this is really spam . Every now and then I have to clean up one of my pages.
