Social media is influencing how authors promote their books. Here's how - npr

Nobody asked me to do a book blurb for them.

Today's first stop in the Catosphere for Panzer was at the npr site. There our busy kitty traveler found a post book promotion.

 

According to Brittney Melton's post, book promotion is shifting away from book cover author book blurbs. The post covers where authors are now concentrating their book promotions.

 

Panzer says, "It's really hard to get book blurbs anyway."

 

Note: This is a long post. Bring a cup of tea and a muffin to snack on.
