Believe it or not, writing the book is the easy part. 

Thousands of excellent books get released every year, and in order to be heard over the rest, I need a little help from you guys.

I'm trying to build a Street Team to help with hype and marketing. What in the world is that, you ask? I'm glad you did!

A Street Team are folks that help to hype the book prior to and after release by word of mouth, social media posts...and...uhhh...Carrier pigeons? Flash mobs? I honestly don't know the other ways, but I'm sure they exist. You'll be sent some stuff you can share out, and from be entered into drawings for some swag!

 In part 2 of "your indie author begs for help", I'm looking to build a stable of ARC Readers. 

ARC Readers receive an advanced copy of a book (usually in e-book format) so they can read it prior to release. The hope (not requirement) is that they will then post to Amazon, Goodreads, and other book-ish spaces.

If this sounds appealing to you, sign up to be an ARC Reader for my future projects below.
