Any Other Name by Emma Newman
I’m not one for promoting any old nutbags on my website, but I’m most certainly one for telling you about internet pals like Emma Newman, whose new novel, Any Other Name, comes out today, and who’s running a really rather interesting campaign for spreading the word. Long sentence. Sorry.
Here’s Emma to explain:
Over ten days – finishing on the date of the UK paperback release (6th June) – I’ll be tweeting links to blog posts elsewhere online which will contain the links you need to find all twelve objects and I’ll be using the #splitworlds hashtag. I’ll link to them on Facebook too.
I think this is a great way to create interest and promote a novel, and I’m pleased to be host to one of those secret links. There’s a second phase to the promotion on its way, and you can find out more on Emma’s launch post.
And do tell me if you’ve seen other innovative ways that authors and publishers have used to market books. I’m all ears/eyes/whatever.
It also happens that Emma has contributed to this blog and the Write for Your Life podcast before:
- S03E02 – Prolificness and why we should never say should
- S02E17 – There’s more than one way to bag a book deal
- 10 typical questions from writers (that are really just fear in disguise)
