Hi there,

I'm doing a story on how established authors can revitalize sales by doing fresh media pitches. How do you come up with a new relevant angle? How do you get through to media when your book is over a year old, or several years old? I want to hear from authors (especially those published by legit publishing companies rather than self-published) and book editors on tips for authors who have published a book and want to rev up sales. What can they do when the book is older?

Please send full contact information including short pitch with idea to {email redacted, please post replies in forum - love, your friendly neighborhood mod}.

I will be in touch if I use your submission, and the publication will call to fact-check.

Thank you!
Kristen

The one and only thing you can do is write and publish a new book.

That's it.

There are no other tricks; there are no other gimmicks.

True enough. I was talking about reviews in things like newsletters. Which is easy enough if you're a member or know a member of the group that puts one out.

Blessings,

Are you looking for people to help you research or to pitch you ideas/submissions/write your story for you?

Jim's absolutely right, there aren't any gimmicks except to keep writing.
