OK, this is me reaching out to all my wonderful readers and asking for a bit of help! Fifty Shades is breaking all publication records while my books merely have quiet and unremarkable sales. Am I jealous, of course I am particularly as from what I have read so far I like to think my books are better, but then I would say that wouldn’t I?
Well maybe just maybe you could help even things out a bit. I have no wish to be famous, in fact I revel in my anonymity, but I would enjoy my writing being read and appreciated more than it is, and of course I quite like the idea of being a bit better off.
If and only if you have the time and the inclination could do something to help young Elizabeth pay the mortgage and keep her of the streets? For example you could make some prints of the flyer above, and every time you are in a café or a wine bar or even a changing room in a dress shop, leave a few where they will be picked up and passed round. Stick one or two up in prominent places or even leave them on car windscreens. If you feel adventurous, dress up in a short skirt and suspenders (girls only!) and hand them out in your local high street. Provided you can avoid getting arrested you could well end up making a lot of new friends!
If that’s not your scene, then simply e mail it to every one in your address book with a note encouraging them to pass it on again. Make it viral, send it to any club or business where it could be of interest, or even send it to your local paper. Maybe you’ve ideas that I’ve not even thought of, but then I’m a writer not a business woman so I’m excused from not knowing how marketing works!
If you can do anything at all, then my appreciation would be off the scale. How would I show it though? I don’t actually know, but no doubt some of you might have a few thoughts on the subject!
