Comments on: Market My Words http://ktliterary.com/2009/08/market-my-words/ experience, attitude, enthusiasm, and boundless optimism Wed, 23 May 2012 14:36:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Susan http://ktliterary.com/2009/08/market-my-words/comment-page-1/#comment-4180 Susan Wed, 26 Aug 2009 13:17:26 +0000 http://ktliterary.com/?p=2073#comment-4180 A couple of questions for you, post-interview. Any thoughts on whether (or how) the "social networking" is different for a MG author? I was once told that having a Facebook page might even be "creepy" for those who write for 10-12 age range. Obviously you're not trying to reach fans through Twitter, MySpace, etc. if your fans are fifth graders. Should you have these online faces anyway, for the grown-up fans and librarians, etc.? For the parents? Also, you mentioned "oversharing" and I'd love it if you'd expand a little on that. What do YOU consider oversharing? Just the here's-my-query-process-in-detail kind of thing? Talking about rejection or other "down" moments? Too many posts about kids and laundry? A couple of questions for you, post-interview.

Authors need to put time into building a community online via social marketing. This is so true. Authors need to put time into building a community online via social marketing.

How long does it usually take you to read a client's manuscript? This is someone you've signed, and maybe working on revisions before submitting? This is random –
