Writer Rosalie Warren has started promoting her new fictional character from a ghostly tale- MarieT's story is about her upbringing by sisters/nuns, who may be ghosts...
She has her own Twitter handle @MarieTGhost and a blog Brought Up By Ghosts
Now perhaps this is something that is much more effective for children's/YA fiction. But do you think it would work for other genres?
We all know that writers need to use social media to promote their work, and I think this is quite a fun and different way to do it, engaging potential readers.
So what do you think of this? Would you try it, or do you think it might not work as well as usual social media methods?
Personally, it's an interesting idea...
Hmmm.. You've got me thinking.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a very good idea. I may well try this myself at some stage.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI'll look forward to seeing them in the future, all of you. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is interesting. On Friday I thought I'd take two of my characters and give them blogs as a way to get me moving on their stories.
ReplyDeleteI set them up yesterday.
Today I went to Marie's blog after a re-tweet on Twitter and then came here.
Another synchronous moment?
Welcome, Morris Traveller. All the best with your characters blogs.
ReplyDeleteI've seen a few other authors let their characters do interviews. Maybe a good idea!
ReplyDeleteI think that's a good idea too, Rosemary.
ReplyDeleteAnything is worth trying when promotion is such an essential element of getting sales. :-)
Thanks for mentioning me, Carol.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to meet other interesting 'characters'!
wow, that's a really interesting idea. Definitely something to ponder on!
