Listen Later

Main Topic: Unwritten Etiquette

  • The etiquette of talking about reading stories by your other author friends
  • Don’t ask if they read it, don’t ask if they liked it
  • The Blurb: the asking and the being asked
  • The unwritten rules for signing lines
  • Reader etiquette regarding used books
  • About well-wishes for award nominations
  • Remember, reviews are for other readers, not the writer (and potential mine fields)
  • Social Media: Promotion vs Self-Promotion (balanced by volume)
  • Networking: another minefield to tiptoe through
