THE PURPOSE OF THIS GROUP
PATTY’S FIRST READERS will receive an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) of releases a month to six weeks prior to the novel’s release. Members are asked to read the book prior to release, then–if you like it (if you don’t like, don’t do anything)–help “create a buzz” about the book by participating in one or more of the following suggestions:
- WRITE A REVIEW FOR AMAZON, CBD.COM, GOODREADS, NOVEL CROSSING, BARNES AND NOBLE, BOOKS A MILLION, YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY’S WEBSITE, OR ANY OTHER ONLINE REVIEW SITE.
- TALK ABOUT THE BOOK ON SOCIAL MEDIA SITES.
- BLOG ABOUT IT
- ASK YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY TO ORDER A COPY OF THE BOOK.
- ASK YOUR LOCAL CHURCH LIBRARY TO ORDER THE BOOK (OR DONATE A COPY).
- IF YOU’RE PART OF A BIBLE STUDY, MOPS, OR ANY OTHER GROUP, TELL THEM ABOUT THE BOOK.
- SUGGEST MY LATEST BOOK TO YOUR BOOK CLUB, IF APPLICABLE.
- “LIKE” THE BOOK ON AMAZON.
- DIRECT PEOPLE TO MY WEBSITE.
- WRITE A REVIEW FOR YOUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER.
- PURCHASE COPIES TO GIVE AWAY AS CHRISTMAS AND BIRTHDAY GIFTS.
