Should you pay attention blogs when you publish your book? The answer isn't "Yes" or "No" anymore. The correct answer is "How?"
Over a year ago, novelist M.J. Rose told me why she blogs: "blogs, websites, listservs and news and entertainment sites an author can find a large number of like minded "sneezers," as Seth Godin named them in Unleashing The Idea Virus-- influential people who spread word of mouth."
Her strategy paid off. Thanks to the help of her loyal sneezers, her new book, The Reincarnationist, just cracked Amazon's Mystery and Thriller Top Ten Bestseller List.
Bookseller Chick has taken the conversation one step farther, asking her readers to share their own experiences of book discovery via blogs. The thread just started yesterday, but they are already sending in plenty of advice that every writer should read.
