A plug for SmallPress Blog, a guide to independent publishing

If you’re looking for new ideas in book publishing, check out Thomas Nixon’s SmallPress Blog. In addition to publishing his own books, Tom somehow finds the time to posts lots of valuable content for other independent publishers and self-publishers.

Tom was gracious enough to feature me this week, and we discussed Plug Your Book. In the interview, I explain why it’s a good idea to maintain a blog if you’re an author (or plan to become one):

Instead of trying to beat people over the head with an advertisement for your book, a blog enables your audience to discover you, and they get involved.

Blogging does take time, but the payoff can be huge. The more you blog, the more readers will find you, and contribute new ideas you can use in your books.

    Hey Steve, I really enjoyed your Q&A; at SmallPress Blog. So much so that I blogged about it today at http://bob-baker.com/self-publish-book/blog/

    Like you say in the interview, blogging begets blogging … and more attention. Just like this :-)
