You’re right about having a good publicist, Don. I also find that “antisocial” authors have a better time using social media than those that are used to traditional book tours, signings and interviews. Those are the ones that oftentimes struggle the most with the digital transition. Hmm… maybe that’s a new post

Great stuff, Marian. I couldn’t agree more. This panel really gets it.

I’m finding that creating effective author strategies require a pretty standard set of listening tools combined with a healthy dose of author branded content and some highly defined work processes and business development tactics to drive the desired outcomes. When well defined, documented work processes are follow, the time suck is effectively eliminated.

Even when an author is borderline antisocial, a sharp publicist or marketing assistant with the right tools and skills has the ability to maintain a valuable line of direct communication with the market through a solid web presence.
