Facebook for Book Promotion

Facebook is growing in popularity on a daily basis. It is a great outlet for people to reconnect with friends, stay in touch with people who live in different cities, and keep family members updated on their activities. Photos are encouraged as are daily updates about your “status.” It is also a great place for authors to build a database of friends and fans.

Facebook allows authors to create a page dedicated to themselves, their book or even create a Fan Page to generate interest among readers. They can post updates on book tours, reviews posted, coverage obtained and send it out to the entire Facebook community in a matter of moments. Thousands of contacts can be made in an afternoon and it creates an easy and casual way for authors to connect with their readers. Links can be provided to the author’s website or any websites where the author is featured. Authors can be emailed through Facebook or put their own personal email address on their designated page.

We encourage our authors to join Facebook and start interacting with their readers and other writers whom they admire. We do, however, always warn authors that the minute they sign up for Facebook we are not responsible for the hours upon hours they may lose sifting through all of the faces of people from their past, fans of their present and future friends.

Come find us on Facebook and let’s be friends!
