Hey everyone...I'm on my way to work, but I wanted to pose this question to all of you right quick.
Many of you may not know this, but I am a writer -- currently unpublished. I've been trying to get a literary agent for the past year and a half or so. It's tough work, but I've been learning a lot about the publishing industry through my rejections.
I have also recently been investigating the option of self-publishing. I thought I knew a lot about marketing and promoting literature, but I figure I'd ask all of you this question:
What makes YOU purchase a novel?
Word of mouth?
Are you a member of a book club that makes monthly suggestions?
Do you come to GreekChat for suggestions?
Do you regularly browse bookstores for new titles? (reading the back covers, etc)
Do you read
Black Issues Book Review or some ther literature-related magazine? How about book reviews in mainstream publications?
Just curious!
