Promote Yourself, Your Writing and Your 2011 NaNoWriMo Attempt
November will be here before you know it, and it is, of course, National Novel Writing Month. If you’re participating in NaNoWriMo 2011, and want to promote yourself and your books here at Change The World With Words, I’d love to post an interview with you.
The system is simple. Just answer the questions below, add a bio, copy and paste into the body of an email and send it to me at karen at changetheworldwithwords dot com (or use the contact form). Sorry about the odd email address formula but it is an anti spam tactic. If you want to include a photo of yourself or perhaps the cover art of one of your books, go ahead. If you don’t, no problem.
Your bio can include up to three links. They can be to your blog, writer’s website, Twitter profile, Facebook fan page, or anywhere you promote your writing online. One of them can even be a link to a previous book’s sales page at Amazon or elsewhere online.
You can also include a couple of links in the text of the interview as long as they’re relevant (so if for example, you mention in the interview something that you’ve expanded on in detail in one of your own blog posts, include a link). Please put all links in full directly after the text you want them to apply to. I will imbed them as anchor text.
Answers can be as short or as detailed as you want but remember I want to provide useful insights to my readers (many of whom are new writers or article/short story writers who have yet to break into writing book length projects) as well as providing a platform for you to promote yourself.
I plan to publish all responses, but I reserve the right to refrain from publishing any piece that I deem to be unsuitable or unhelpful. Depending on the number of responses it may take a while before all interviews are published. I will tweet/share/promote all interviews and let you know when yours is up so you can join in.
Here are the questions. Have fun with them. Humor is appreciated and encouraged here at Change The World With Words.
Tell me a little bit about yourself. How long have you been writing, and what sort of writing do you do?
Is this your first attempt at NaNoWriMo? If not, what happened to the novels you worked on during previous Nano events? Have they found publishers/agents/been self-published? Or were they “just” a learning process?
How much planning did you do before you sat down to write that novel-in-a-month?
What’s your strategy? Are you writing every single day? Aiming for a set daily word count? How long each day do you/will you spend writing?
Do you/will you connect with other participants, either online or in person?
What advice do you have for other Nano writers, or what’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given so far?
I look forward to reading (and sharing) your answers. Have friends and followers who will be participating in NaNoWroMo? Please share /forward/retweet this post.
I really use this a lot of great info i get on this post..Thank you for sharing..
