Advertising and Promoting Prompted
I need ideas on how to advertise and promote Prompted, which is a book of 32 short stories that span many different genres and themes.
I've added it to GoodReads (of course!)
I've run a KDP free promotion already.
Today, I've listed it on LibraryThing, which is a website that sends your book out to their readers for free.
https://www.librarything.com/ner/u/AnilaSyed
I hope someone asks for it.
If there are other ideas for promotion (when) then I will blog them here.
Don't forget, a review is very very helpful. If you love the author in your family and want them to succeed and do well, go onto wherever their book is for sale online and write a few words about it. It will only cost you a few minutes out of your day and will make the world of different to them!
Much Love,
Anila!

This is the blurb:
In creating Prompted, Anila Syed has pulled together a collection of short stories she has written in response to writing prompts from various competitions over a period of 12 years. She covers a wide range of genres from romance, sci-fi, fantasy to political science and all points in between, over, under and back again.
Come and meet a magical black kitten, or how about The Creator of all things in a creation myth?
Why did an alien try to run a petting zoo, and how does a music buff, desperate to catch the latest download organise all his friends? - he's not that bright to be honest!
There is also a man transcending space and time as a result of a gift from the gods, an astronaut, disillusioned by time dilation, and some very naughty residents of a care home.
These 30 stories can be read in the order given, or dipped into from time to time.
Make new friends, find new adventures and then be inspired to write your own with the writing prompts at the end!
