Adrienne Nairn asked Richard Abbott-Brailey:

Hi Richard, What have you found to be your most useful marketing ploy and what social media sites do you use? Your previous comments have proved most useful and I agree wholeheartedly.

Richard Abbott-Brailey Hi Adrienne. I have yet to discover my most useful marketing tool - promoting of Azarias Tor is ongoing - though I believe the giveaway on Goodreads has brought the book to the attention of a wider audience. At the same time I am convinced that the donation of copies to local libraries, which has led to the first library author event, has played a massive part in promoting my work. With regards to social media I use Facebook (where you are welcome to join me), Goodreads (where I have this author page), Twitter and Instagram. The latter proves to be the most successful, closely followed by Twitter. I have a website but that needs further development. Though the publisher has been responsible for marketing Azarias Tor I am constantly seeking different methods and messages on regular basis when marketing my novel. Success may be judged when I receive my first royalties statement next March.
