The Fussy Librarian

little-librarian

Got emails yesterday, confirming that both of my books, Wake-Robin Ridge and Swamp Ghosts, had been approved by The Fussy Librarian, so one step closer to trying out their service. They said they’d email me with the date for when they will each be listed, and I’ll keep you guys in the loop, as I try this one out. Going to try another one or two later today, if I finish my work on Chapter 29 of Rabbit’s story in time. Stay tuned! And be sure to jump in if you have thoughts on, or experience with, any of these services.

Self-Marketing Question

Have any of you used services like Book Bub, Book Gorilla, Early Bird, eReaderIQ, or The Fussy Librarian to promote your work? I know BookBub is pricey, and while it might be worth it, it’s not in my budget. The Fussy Librarian has a circulation of 75,000 readers, over 60,000 signed up for notices in my genre. You can get a one-time mention for $9 per book. That’s something I can afford, and submitting a book for approval was a very easy task. So, I’ve done it. I’ll let you know how it works, what the display looks like when the email with my listing comes around, and whether or not I see an increase in sales afterward. I figured for $18, it was worth a shot, but we’ll see how it goes.
