Although I haven’t had feedback from new readers directly yet (that’s the scary bit involving Amazon reviews) I’m hoping to hear back from at least some of the people who were kind enough to spend a little time in the world of DI John Arbogast. It will pay to be persistent and use every channel you can to push your work into the public domain. It was also good for sales, with numbers doubling in the space of the week, propelling the book to Number 3 in the Amazon Noir chart – a fantastic result.įor self published novels the importance of doing your homework and finding slots which suit your book are invaluable in helping the slow process of building an audience. This featured above an article on a competition that Scotland’s crime fiction festival, Bloody Scotland, was running, and all in all was great exposure for the book to an audience with a vested interest in my chosen genre. The Daily Record kindly agreed to publish a short synopsis in their weekly Book Club page (see below) I’m glad to say that the last seven days has been something of a watershed for my debut crime novel ‘Wilderness’. Without the might of a publisher self promotion is something that is inevitable when you decide to self publish your book.
For the last few weeks I’ve been talking a lot about my book.
