Hey all,
What are the best practices for agented authors on promoting oneself before the agency sells the work? I ask because I was recently signed by a lit agent, but am unsure on the best way to 'come out' as an author, per say. Should this be a 'soft opening' process -- maybe just a link to my website on my twitter account where I discuss the project? Should I be blogging about the revision process, etc, the excitement of landing and agent - to keep building up a presence? Getting signed doesn't mean getting published, I know that, but I also don't want to hit the ground with nothing once, and hopefully it will, be published.
Any thoughts would help.
