Richard was born at home in The White House… no, not that one – in Gloucestershire, UK in 1961, but has spent most of his life living in Yorkshire. He entered the world with a strong sense of purpose to discover and create.

Polymath, teacher, and writer – Richard has developed his knowledge and understanding of the metaphysical over many years. Since his first booklet in 1987, ‘How We Perform Negative Miracles’ – photocopied and stapled together, he has moved to print-on-demand publishing. In 2013, he featured on Constance Arnold’s Law of Attraction Radio, ‘Think, Believe and Manifest Show’ and in 2021 and 2022 he gave talks at the online California Seth Conference. He is also a regular contributor to Internet channel: "The Channeled Truth. ...more

You obviously think your book is the best thing since sliced bread. However, you are not your audience and most other people couldn't care less. Ask yourself how you feel when someone tries to interest you in books that you perhaps wouldn't normally pick up. How are you going to entice people to want to pick up your book? Stand in any bookshop and feel the competition!

Develop a good author platform with your own website.

Target your book as much as you can to the type of audience that it will appeal to. As some might say: Find your tribe.

Use social media to drive people to your website rather than building everything on social media.

Write a regular blog to draw people into your writing world.

Bear in mind that you will have to generate your market. Contrary to popular belief, publishers do not see themselves as primarily responsible for finding your readership. If you use print-on-demand 'indie' publishing such as lulu.com, createspace.com or Balboa Press, they will offer extended services, but be careful if you think they will market your books for you - they will probably be offering only editorial and cover design help and a promise to mail to a million customers once - and you cannot always be sure that this list will be targeted to the specific readers interested in your type of writing.

Other ways to generate your readership include: Press releases, public talks, book signing events, short audio or video clips, interviews on local radio/TV, or Internet radio/TV shows.

Find ways to develop an email contact list. One way to do this is offer something unique and/or free to people who respond to an offer and are willing to provide their email address. (You could build your list using a site such as mailchimp and this offers the option for people to opt out if they no longer wish to be on your list).

Some suggest that an email list of 100,000 people is required to generate any sort of real income from your writing. Only a small percentage of those who come across your books will actually buy them.

You need to reach a 'tipping point' where enough people are talking about you and passing the message on word-of-mouth to others, that your books are a 'must read'.

Stop by, recommend books, offer up poems (excerpted), tempt us, taunt us, tell us what to read and where to go (to read it!) Goodreads honors wordsmiths: poets and poetry promoted and prompted here. ~~~ "Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits." -- Carl Sandburg “God has a brown voice, as soft and full as beer.” —Anne Sexton On Clouds – “…what primitive tastes the ancients must have had if their poets were inspired by those absurd, untidy clumps of mist, idiotically jostling one another about…” —Yevgeny Zamyatin “If the poet wants to be a poet, the poet must force the poet to revise. If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association).
