💫RELEASE DAY💫

It's officially Release Day for Broken Puzzle Pieces!! Check it out at: https://t.co/14Q8OxsjA3

It's a platonic love story with sweet romance on the side, beginning with a pair of homeless orphan teenagers, spanning an entire lifetime in three books. Three books of love, joy, adventure and pain. A found family for you to be part of forever. https://t.co/GbFdKCHJ46

3) Use social media to my advantage (create posts, videos, and content that is interesting and unforgettable)
4) Find my intended audience (no one's work is for everyone and that's okay; find your niche)
5) Remember that sales do not reflect poorly on me or my work (I'm learning)

It's been almost 4 months since I released my first poetry collection, Broken Puzzle Pieces, and I have some thoughts on things I would do differently next time.

1) Invest in marketing (this could be paying someone to do it for you, paying for ads on Facebook, or paying for more exposure on TikTok)
2) Edit more or find an editor (yes there are mistakes in my collection and I've learned from this)

I need some recommendations for indie/self published poetry collections! I can look on Amazon myself, but I feel like I'd be missing a lot of great authors. Only criteria is published collections. Thank you!

It's tough to keep up with social media as an author. There's too much to keep up with and so little time! Any tips on how to stay relevant on social media, while not devoting all your time to it? #writersoftwitter #WritingCommunity

@Jimbloomy I'd post about it across social media. As many places as you can. It can be hard to find someone for a very specific genre.

@RaGianBreez I'm trying out Scrivner. It's really good for keeping your notes and your writing in one place.

@AlyannaPoe Myself. I write what I'd like to see in the world.

@PattyGilman1 I've gotta recommend @lucyturnspages Incredible supporter of indie authors and recently came out with a poetry collection!

It's been fun to create bookish content on Tik Tok. However, I'm not thrilled about creepy comments from men predominately. If you want to hit on me in a public space, just don't. It's creepy and unwanted.

Does what you read effect what you write??

Any book reviewers want to help them out??

[Bronwen Write @BronwenWrite]

Any of my followers book reviewers? Or know reviewers? I have a queer urban fantasy coming out in September and I'd love to throw it at people in exchange for honest reviews. (Reviews I will not read or engage with because I am a soft hearted coward and reviews are for readers.)

@Madclark22 Congrats! My advice is to market market market. Your book won't succeed without it.

There is so much overlap within the reading and writing community! I love seeing my booktube/booktok/bookstagram friends getting into writing and just loving books!
