At the end of my last blog post I wrote about Russell Blake, who has churned out an incredible number of books in a very short space of time. He has earned a fortune (and I believe he deserves it for working so hard). I forgot to include a very important piece of information about this writer - he is self-published. (As am I).
Blake says that a self-published author must spend 75% of their time actually writing and 25% marketing. So, here goes - my memoir is doing very well at the moment. It is riding high in the Amazon charts. It has several new recent reviews, and a five star rating. And it's discounted at the moment, on a Kindle Countdown deal.
Here's the link, so you can check it out for yourselves: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Surviving-Schizophrenia-Memoir-Louise-Gillett-ebook/dp/B0057P6M46
Blake also contends that the cover is all important, and I know he's right - I am quite embarrassed now of the family snap that adorns the front of my book. It is so not professional. I am resolved to do something about it at some point - but for now I have to get back to my task of manically putting words on the page.
I have a target to meet!
