Do you use social media? How often and for what purpose? I’d love to know. I’m a Facebook user but after I was hacked, I’ve lost confidence. I’m being encouraged to join Instagram but I’m questioning what difference it makes if I use it or not. How do you – the readers – get to hear about indie authors like me? How do you discover new-to-you books?
If you’re not sure, there are several ways: Indie Books releases a regular catalogue that goes to libraries, bookshops and schools amongst other outlets. Flaxroots provides reviews on selected New Zealand books to help you decide. Beyond that, you can find other links and some recommended authors on my website. You can also find me on Pinterest and LinkedIn. And of course, you can always request books from your local library. But is that the information you want?
If you are wanting to know more about me, as a person, you could subscribe to my monthly newsletter where I share news and views, new words, some history, other book recommendations, and much more. Or you could just ask me a question. I’m always happy to answer reader’s questions and discuss aspects of my characters, storylines, historical research and writing process.
So what would you do? Should I continue with my social media presence or doesn’t it matter to you?
