Obviously, the more people that read, score, leave reviews and or comments on your book, the better.

Weekends are usually, our catchup times; we like to start fresh, every Monday. Can authors link their books to ELK Publishing social media pages?Yes. We don't have any issues with this, we encourage you to do this. It will give you added exposure - please use our Facebook and Google+ pages. In return, we ask that you like or fan our page. Of course, if you are paying for a Featured listing then you'll already be featured there by us.

That's a pretty good deal, hey? As an author, how can you do more to get your book out there?You can 'Share' your ELK Publishing page/review/interview as much as you like. Just hit the 'Share' button for whatever social media account you wish and Bob's your uncle. Can I request an author interview?Yes. This is something you can submit easily. We've drafted up a few good questions for you to think about, draft up a response and send it to us. This way you can think seriously about how you might want to answer each question. Take your time. There is no time limit. Once you are complete, flick it to us and we will edit if needed and then, freely plug your author interview on our site.
This is great practice for you to explain 'you', as an author. A reflective process, enables you to learn about your practice and how that might relate to your audience/readers. I hope this helps your writing career shine a million stars bright! |
