That's interesting. Any markets specifically?

>>3762556
Thank you! I hope you're not disappoint as well.

>Oh and join tumblr
I'm promoting it on tumblr, which has helped somewhat however tumblr seems more fanfiction oriented when it comes to writing. Still, I'm using it.

Join a local writers group and make some writer friends.
I actually did this too, I found a great club nearby and a few writing buddies who bounce ideas around with me.

>>3762526
I appreciate it and I'm going to do it. I just want to know if anyone has more.

And does anyone think it's worth it to find an agent? I did a lot of research on agencies but things came up and I just self published. I feel it was a foolish move.

>>3762506
Yeah, sorry. It's already finished and published.
>Why not open the book with the acceptance letter?
Interesting idea, but sounds a bit like Harry Potter. Darcy's family life isn't quite as colorful.

I'm working on my next book, and I'll do my best to make the beginning of this one more intriguing.

>>3762430
Alright, I'll get into twitter then. That's a good idea, thank you.

Anything else? I mean, I know I'm at last half decent, I've won some competitions and shit and my short stories online are well received. The trouble is what I write online is a different genre, so I can only peek interest so much from the followers of my online story.

Anyone here published who has suggestions for advertising? Any sites I should join?

It's called Pendragon University.

>>3762357
I don't know why I did that.

>>3762354
The problem is that not enough people know about it. I know the book is solid enough, I just have to get people to see it.

>>3762345
The book is already published and sadly doesn't have a title as cool as that.

>>3762346
I should have thought of that.

What's the most effective method to advertise my e-book?

I just made a facebook page. Not sure what else I should do. I paid to advertise on websites and that doesn't seem to work much.

Any chance you could expand on this? I didn't know there were different formats. I've never been to /tg/ but I was looking for a place to vent about rp stuff. I started rping a few months ago, basically each post is two lines to three paragraphs long depending on the scenario.

>>2798362
Yeah.

I closed the book after a few pages and sent an angry email to the friend who suggested it.

>>2766226
It's just a bunch of Halloween themed monsters going to college together. Zombie, mummy, werewolf, mermaid etc. Almost every beast under the sun. The main character is a human that gets accepted to the school by mistake and ends up staying. Then there are other complications that make a plot out of it.

>>2766209
Everyone loses their shit when I talk about the content. I don't know what I'm going to do about it.. the book is written well. Everyone tells me so (including /lit/) but when I summarize it it sounds like major cliche shit. I can't figure out how to explain that it has it's own twist on a popular theme.

Here's an illustration I did for shits and giggles

>>2766195
Hey, maybe looking like I ripped them off might get someone to pick it up, even out of scrutiny. I've never read the other series so I'm not worried about plagiarism. The name has been around longer than that series anyway.

I just can't please anyone.

>>2766172
yeah, but the name isn't exclusive to them. There was King Arthur, etc.

You think the first is best? Not too Gay Pride Lesbian Power?

or

>>2766148
It's also for little tweens.

Here is the original.

>Oh and I'll probably draw those shitty wings over when I have more time.

Okay, I reworked the cover and changed the title to Immortal Pendragon.

Any better?

>>2754356
why? Taking a while?

I finally finished editing my novel.

I'd like to self-publish online, but I don't know about it since I buy books printed. I'm looking for popular online places to publish. Suggestions?
