I am posting half a day early because there is a 24-hour, short story contest opening today run by Writers Weekly, a publisher and one of my favorite sources of "what-not-to-do" examples of bad query letters.

Danielle Hampson of The Authors Show (a fantastic promotional venue) shares some great "what-to-do" advice for navigating Facebook.
"Create a Captivating Author Page
Establish a professional Facebook author page with an engaging profile picture, cover photo, and concise bio. It should exude your unique writing persona and a link to your book interview.
Engage through Meaningful Content
Craft compelling and shareable posts. Include posts that mention your interview each time it is featured in a broadcast. Pose thought-provoking questions, share book excerpts, and host Q&A sessions to foster engagement with your followers.
Leverage Facebook Groups
Join and actively participate in relevant Facebook groups. Engage in book-related discussions, provide valuable insights, and subtly introduce your book interview when appropriate.
Host Facebook Live Events
Arrange live author readings, behind-the-scenes glimpses, or interactive Q&A sessions on your page. Mention your book interview and provide a link if appropriate. Live events can enhance your connection with readers.
Encourage User-Generated Content
Motivate readers to post reviews, share their reading experiences, create fan art related to your book or post comments about your interview. Acknowledging and sharing user-generated content builds a loyal community."
More tomorrow... perhaps.
All the best,
Rowena Cherry
