Word of Mouth- A Powerful Medium to Sell Books

Word of Mouth – a powerful medium to sell books.

By Horane Smith – award-winning author

It’s becoming increasingly difficult for authors, especially the new ones, to get review in newspapers and magazines. Newspapers have cut back on review spaces, and the reduced pages available, seem to be reserved for well-established authors or the big guns of the publishing houses, be they a Random House, Harper Collins or Simon and Schuster.

What can the new and upcoming authors do to get their titles more visible, the ultimate goal being to get them in the hands of readers? Surely, the introduction of the internet has been a blessing in disguise for many new writers. Were it not for the internet, and all the wide and varied opportunities available to promote books, the works of many new authors wouldn’t have seen the light of day and go on to become best-sellers or create an impact in literary circles. The “Google” effect and the Yahoo searches have been catalysts in the careers of many an author; the blogs, the websites, the Amazon.coms, the Barnes and Noble.coms, online discussions forums, the online book clubs, the notice boards, the online/POD publishers, and online self-publishing ventures have played, and continue to play, pivotal roles in the career and of many emerging writers.

Nevertheless, newspapers and magazines continue to have their roles, be they reduced, in promoting books. Certainly, The Toronto Star, The Globe and Mail or The New York Times Review of Books, do initiate and discover new writers through their reviews, but the frequency of such is another matter.

Similarly, the internet, too, is responsible for ongoing exposure for books and writers, and so does an often overlooked method long used and practiced by many famous writers from as far back as we want to go. Word of mouth, as many writers like me will attest to, can be a powerful tool to sell your books. In fact, for a lot of writers, who don’t enjoy the privilege of getting automatic or publisher arranged reviews in the major daily newspapers, they may sell more books by word of mouth than through any other method.

Lover’s Leap: Based on the Jamaican Legend, my first of six novels was published in 1999. My other novels are Port Royal, Underground to Freedom, Reggae Silver, Dawn at Lover’s Leap and The Lynching Stream. In the case of Lover’s Leap, now a Jamaican best-seller, I can safely say its success is largely attributed to word of mouth. Only three book reviews were done in the U.K., Jamaica and North America, although over fifty newspaper stories were published in those three markets. But being my first novel, I went all out to ensure that people heard about it.

When the novel came out, I heard of cases where one person bought a copy and up to twenty people ended up reading the same copy. At first, I was concerned, given the reality that sales would be affected. However, as time went by, I began to realize that one of the reasons people were reading the same copy was that the word was getting around about this novel that people were describing as a “page turner.” The success of the novel didn’t come in the first year, however, in the second year, sales started to move up steadily and has been like that ever since. Although it was published nine years ago, the novel enjoyed its biggest sale in 2007, primarily because of a marketing strategy that ensures that it’s always available at the location of the legend it is based on, and of course, word of mouth is still getting around.

My other novels have received much more media publicity than Lover’s Leap. I’ve had roughly 150 newspaper stories and radio and television interviews for all my books. Somehow, Lover’s Leap is way ahead in sales and continues to sell today. It’s sequel Dawn at Lover’s Leap, which came out in 2006, was a finalist in the USA Booknews Bestbook Awards for Historical Fiction, yet it’s sales is nowhere near that of Lover’s Leap.

As my seventh novel Seven Days in Jamaica (Rain Publishing) comes out in the fall of 2008, I’m being forced by my own conscience to take another look at the word of mouth method of promoting this new publication. Most certainly, all other methods of promoting this novel will be utilized, but closer attention will be paid to word of mouth, which could give me another best-seller.

Brian L Porter: Recommended Read

Coming in the Spring of 2008- Glastonbury (Rain Publishing Inc.)- by Brian L Porter.
www.rainbooks.com


In The News;
Brian L Porter's recent paperback and e-book release 'A Study in Red - The Secret Journal of Jack the Ripper' (Double Dragon Publishing) was recently listed as a 'Recommended Read' by Terri Dukes of CK2S Kwips & Kritiques.

An extract from the review
"I was immediately struck by the enormous amount of research that went into A Study in Red (The Secret Journal of Jack the Ripper). It brought 18th century London to life, making the story almost palpable. For over a hundred years, the mystery of Jack the Ripper has been investigated, written about, and discussed, but never like this. I could feel the cobblestones under my feet, hear the horses and carriages and smell the foul air of the London back alleyways.

The journal was an interesting tool, bringing the reader directly into Jack’s world and the insanity inflicting him. Experiencing the journal with Robert was intense as the mysteries unfold page by page. The suspense kept me engrossed well into the late evening hours, just as Robert had… I can feel the goose bumps now.

The identity of Jack the Ripper has been explored, but never in such a deliciously nail biting manner. Although fiction, the possibilities of who Jack really was and where he came from as well as his unfortunate victims felt all too real thanks to the obvious hard work of the author to create this sensational tale."

A video trailer of the novel is available to view on You Tube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuKKNPbzIF8

Since the release of the book Brian has been accepted as a member of The Whitechapel Society 1888, an organisation set up to investigate the murders of Jack the Ripper, and the history of Victorian London in general.

So I say again, sleep, fair citizens, while you can, for there will be a next time... From 'A Study in Red - The Secret Journal of Jack the Ripper' by Brian L Porter available from www.amazon.com, www.waterstones.com , www.barnes&noble.com, www.powells.com and others

Jeff Yosick

The sequel to “Timmy and the Storm,” is a journey with Timmy and his mother through the year spent separated from his father.

Timmy and his mother share many wonderful moments in the story. Timmy finds comfort and support through activities with his classmates, friends, and his mother.

As Timmy and his mother watch the changing of the seasons and the months slowly pass by, they continue to wait patiently for the day to be together with his father again.


Jeff Yosick grew up in the small town of New Washington, Ohio. He began writing poetry while in high school and early adulthood before being inspired to write children’s stories.

Currently Jeff has four picture books released; Timmy and the Storm, Madison’s Special Dolly and a second edition of Running the Race will be available in the fall of 2008.

Jeff believes that most of life’s greatest spiritual and everyday life lessons can be found between the covers of a book. It is his goal to write stories that will inspire, offer hope, and a sense of direction that will make a difference for the children of this generation and for those to follow.

Jeff currently resides in Blacklick, Ohio, with his wife, daughter and two sons.

Sun God
Jim Melvin
Adult Fantasy Series

Two dreadful enemies — the fiends of the desert and the druids of the forest — have been destroyed by the forces of good. But Nissaya, the dark fortress, is overrun —and a slaughter of horrific proportions ensues. After its gruesome victory at the fortress, Mala’s army marches toward Jivita to face what remains of the weary white horsemen, whose defeat of the druids came with a heavy price.

A final battle between good and evil takes places on the Green Plains east of Jivita, and finally Mala is defeated. But though his armies now are in ruins, Invictus (the Sun God) still wields invincible power. The evil sorcerer recaptures Laylah and takes her back to his tower in the city of Avici, out of reach of Torg, the man she loves.

Eventually, Torg (the Death Wizard) journeys to Avici and defeats Invictus, with the help of Vedana and a snow giant. But an unthinkable event already has occurred, setting the scene for Book Six (Death-Know).

2007 CAL Writers Award Winners

Rain Publishing Inc. Presents Annual Writing Awards

March 15, 2008, Rain Publishing Inc. recognized 5 authors on February 27 for their first annual CAL Writers awards. The awards were based on reader involvement, and ‘votes’ for the most popular of the Rain Publishing authors released through 2007.

2007 CAL WRITERS AWARD WINNERS

Jeff Yosick received 1st place for his exemplary children’s picture book, Timmy and The Storm. A heart warming story about a mother who explains to a young boy named “Timmy” the importance of duty as his father is called to war. Yosick’s ability to take internationally diverse issues such as war, breast cancer, poverty, and family separation and turn them into inspirational stories that a child can understand is what sets this author apart from the main stream.

Yosick says, “I was inspired to write my first book "Timmy and the Storm" by my brother, who serves in the U.S. Army. I wanted to find a way to help children who have parents serving in tough places such as Iraq. It was my goal to help them better understand what they were called to do, but I also wanted to teach all children about the subject. War is a very difficult thing to understand and accept.”

Yosick has three current children’s picture books, Bryanna and the Sand, Madison’s Special Dolly and the above mentioned Timmy and the Storm. look for the upcoming When Daddy Comes Home, One Penny, One Hope and the 2nd Release of Running the Race in 2008.

L.P. Chase received 2nd place for her exceptional middle grade title “Elliot Stone and the Mystery of the Alien Mom”. This is the first book in the Elliot Stone Mystery series by L.P. Chase. Elliot is a nine year old boy that overhears his mother in a telephone conversation. “I’m afraid I’m beginning to turn green already,” she says, and Elliot thinks she must be turning into an alien. Elliot is determined to get to the bottom of things, so with the help of his friends, Jake and Cassie, he comes up with a master plan. The trio put together a plan to have a sleep over and investigate the situation. What happens next is suspenseful, funny, and full of surprises. Parents and children alike will enjoy following Elliot and his friends on this unforgettable mission.

L.P. Chase has gone on to publish several other works of fiction including, Elliot Stone and the Mystery of the Backyard Treasure, Today is Tuesday, Silly Spoon and the upcoming I’m Not Sticky. Chase plans on continuing the Elliot Stone series and is in the process of writing the third installment.

Debut novelist Jim Melvin received the third-place award for the six-book epic fantasy series entitled The Death Wizard Chronicles. “I describe my series as a cross between J.R.R. Tolkien and Stephen King – Tolkien because it contains many aspects of epic fantasy, King because it’s pretty darn scary and rough," Melvin says. "The Death Wizard Chronicles is a classic tale of good versus evil, with lots of action, monsters, and magic. It also contains a very compelling love story.”

Jim was an award-winning journalist at the St. Petersburg Times for twenty-five years and retired in 2004 to become a full-time novelist. At the Times, he specialized in science, nature, health and fitness, and he wrote about everything from childhood drowning to volcanoes. He also was a designer, editor, and supervisor.

Jim is a student of Eastern philosophy and mindfulness meditation, both of which he weaves extensively into his work.

Author of Merit Awards were given to P.L. Reed-Wallinger, and Joanna Shawana.

P.L. Reed-Wallinger is known for her crime romance novels Dark Secrets and Forbidden Fantasies, and will be releasing her third Obscene Obsessions in 2008. Her young adult romance “Emma’s Choice” has been well received in the 16+ age group.

P.L. researches each criminal element in her borderline erotic romance novels. Her characters as well have strong human layers that women readers can easily relate to. “I believe the human spirit is an amazing thing. We are stronger than we realize, and for the most part, I think we really try to do the right thing. Through the adversities, difficulties, pain and uncertainty my characters live through, I want that spirit to shine...I want them to dig deep and find the strength and courage to overcome.”

Joanna Shawana, an Ojibwe/Odawa member of the eagle clan is speaking out against violence, especially within the aboriginal communities in her work Voice of an Eagle.. Her poetry, and aboriginal teaching prose is an inspirational testimony for women that healing can be found after abuse.

Shawana says, “My goal in life is to share my voice, for too many, and too long we have lived in the silence of abuse. I believe that the voices of men, women and children can make a difference to stop abuse. Most women who have experienced mental, verbal, physical or sexual abuse are ashamed and blame themselves and suffer in silence.”

Tilly Rivers CEO of Rain Publishing Inc. states “The CAL Writers Awards” has personal meaning to me. Being able to share the first of what is to be an annual event with the readers, fans and our authors is a great beginning and something that I am very proud of.”
