Helping Authors Earn A Living

May 17, 2016May 17, 2016 ~ Kristina Stanley ~ 3 Comments

Helping authors earn a living is the tag line I used for the Thunderclap.it campaign I created for THE AUTHOR’S GUIDE TO SELLING BOOKS TO NON-BOOKSTORES.

I’d love to have your help in spreading the word for my first non-fiction book. It’s easy. All you have to do is click the link below. Thunderclap.it will take you to a page where you can support the campaign by choosing FaceBook, Twitter, or Tumbler.

If you do…It means one post will go out on May 28th on your platform of choice. You won’t receive any spam or other messages. You don’t have to buy book.

This could be your way of helping authors earn a living, but helping me -an author 🙂 – spread the word about my next book.

The Thunderclap.it campaign is live for another 11 days at http://bit.ly/KSAuthor

Thunderclap.it is a crowdspeaking platform that helps people be heard by saying something together. It allows a single message to be mass-shared, flash mob-style, so it rises above the noise of your social networks. By boosting the signal at the same time, Thunderclap helps a single person create action and change like never before.

On a side note, THE AUTHOR’S GUIDE TO SELLING BOOKS TO NON-BOOKSTORES is on sale for a limited time at $0.99 USD.

Thanks for reading…

Update Tuesday PM: 2 more people have joined the campaign, and I’m up to 108 people. Thank you! I’m at 233,999 reach…That’s one short of 234,000. You could be the one to bump me up at bit 🙂

Announcing The Author’s Guide To Selling Books To Non-Bookstores

March 12, 2016March 10, 2016 ~ Kristina Stanley ~ 5 Comments

Are you a published author and looking for ways to expand the distribution of your book? Well, I’ve written a book just for you.

Non-Fiction Announcement 2

The success in selling and distributing DESCENT and BLAZE came from implementing what I learned by trial-and-error, by talking with other authors and store owners about the process, and from guidance from my publisher. I’ve taken everything I’ve learned and put it into a book.

In THE AUTHOR’S GUIDE TO SELLING BOOKS TO NON-BOOKSTORES I explain how an author should plan, prepare and execute getting books into stores and actually making money from it. It doesn’t matter whether you’re an Indie author or traditionally published, all that matters is you have a printed edition of your fiction or nonfiction book and you want to get that book out into the world.

Publication is set for this spring. For now, the book goes to the editor and then the proofreader. The cover has to be designed. All major milestones, but all part of the journey.
