On selling over 1000 books!

Cue the fanfare! The confetti! The obnoxious and comical one-man band (complete with tuba)! Terra has officially sold over 1,000 books (actually, it’s almost 1,100 but I failed at doing math until now, haha) and I think that is something to CELEBRATE!


I knew going into this that self-publishing was a huge risk, and would never give me the kind of exposure that traditional publishing would, but felt very confident in the strength of my work, my writing, and the small internet presence I already had. I’m not really sure what the statistics would say about 1,000 books sold in 6 weeks or so, but I really couldn’t be happier! So regardless of where that puts me on the indie publisher totem pole, I am absolutely THRILLED!


So, to celebrate this momentous (if somewhat belated) occasion, I’m hosting a giveaway over on my personal blog for FIVE SIGNED PAPERBACK COPIES of Terra. If you had entered the Goodreads giveaway that just ended today and didn’t win, you can have another crack at a hardopy of your very own. Huzzah!


Terra-4


To enter, just pop over to my other blog and leave a comment. The giveaway ends on Wednesday, February 6th, which is when the five random winners will be drawn. Good luck!!

Rebekah Martin What kind of marketing do you do? Just your blog? Total word of mouth?

It's been primarily my blog, reaching out to other bloggers I know (as well as book blogs) and social media/word of mouth. I haven't paid for any ads or anything like that. I think in this day & age (the Goodreads day and age, really!) book bloggers are the key to word spreading about new books!

Rebekah Martin Well, good job! That's amazing!

Saruuh Kelsey Congrats! I'm so happy for you! I can't wait to read Terra. It's been at the top of my 'to read' list for a long time now but life and amazon (damn their sales!) keep getting in the way. I'm glad it's doing so well.
