Help! My Friend Published a Book
I didn’t know how best to support my author friends until I had published Silverman. Believe it or not, some of the best ways don’t cost a thing.
1. Preorder the book, if possible.
2. Buy it for a friend, if it’s not your cup of tea. Books always make good gifts.
3. Most people buy books on Amazon, so if you shop there you can help train the all-powerful algorithm to recommend the book to others.
4. Leave a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads—even a short phrase and a handful of stars is enough.
5. Recommend the book to friends, online or off.
6. Join the author’s mailing list.
7. Ask your favorite bookstore to stock it.
8. Ask your local library to buy a copy—or donate yours.
