Release Parties!

HELLO EVERYONE!

HOW MANY OF YOU LIKE ATTENDING VIRTUAL RELEASE PARTIES FOR BOOKS?

THIS IS SOMETHING I'M STILL FAIRLY NEW TO, BUT FIND ABSOLUTELY ENJOYABLE. IT'S ALSO QUITE EASY.

FIRST YOU SET UP AN EVENT AND DECIDE WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE HELD. MAYBE YOU WILL HAVE EVERYONE JUST HANG OUT AT THE EVENT PAGE. PERHAPS YOU HAVE A GROUP PAGE YOU CAN DO THE PARTY ON?

SECOND, GET A FEW AUTHORS AND PA'S TOGETHER AND ARRANGE A SCHEDULE. MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS OKAY WITH THEIR ALLOTTED TIME, AND CAN MAKE IT!

NEXT MAKE SOME GRAPHICS TO PROMOTE YOUR PARTY AND THE AWESOME AUTHORS TO BE SHOWCASED IN IT. THIS IS ALSO A GOOD TIME TO MAKE YOUR OWN GRAPHICS FOR THE PARTY I THINK.

FOURTH STEP, SPREAD THE WORD! LET EVERYONE KNOW YOU'RE HOSTING THIS PARTY, AND ENCOURAGE THE OTHER AUTHORS AND PA'S TO DO THE SAME. THE MORE PEOPLE THAT KNOW, THE BETTER THE TURNOUT.

LAST, BUT CERTAINLY THE MOST ENJOYABLE PART, PARTY! REMEMBER, YOU WANT TO INTERACT WITH THE PARTY GOERS. REPLY TO THEIR COMMENTS, AND ENGAGE IN CONVERSATION.

OF COURSE THERE'S A LOT MORE TO IT THAN THAT. YOU HAVE TO SET UP YOUR OWN GAMES FOR YOUR TIME SLOT AND DECIDE ON WHAT WILL BE THE PRIZES (AGAIN JUST FOR YOUR TIME SLOT). WHAT BOOKS WILL YOU BE PROMOTING ALONGSIDE THE OTHERS? OR, ARE YOU JUST GOING TO FOCUS ON THE NEW RELEASE? REMEMBER, PLAN AHEAD! 

ALSO, BACKUP EVERYTHING! I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH. THE MOST FRUSTRATING THING EVER IS PUTTING IN A TON OF WORK, GETTING READY FOR A RELEASE PARTY, AND THEN LOSING IT ALL. SO, BACK THINGS UP!

NOW THEN, I HAVE A RELEASE PARTY TO SHARE WITH ALL OF YOU. IT'S FOR A FRIEND'S NEWEST RELEASE, A SELF-PUBLISHED TITLE "CYRUS". WE'LL BE HOLDING THIS PARTY ON THE FACEBOOK PARTY AND PROMOTION PAGE TALL, DOM & DIRTY! WANT TO JOIN? JUST REQUEST TO JOIN THE GROUP AND HANGOUT TOMORROW NIGHT!
