It is exciting to launch a new book. There are a lot of different ways to do it ... and it doesn't always go to plan.
In this post on interviews, Linda Acaster riffs with some of
the writing greats whilst launching book 2 of her Torc of Moonlight trilogy;
and Stuart Aken is interviewed for an online launch for book 1 in his fantasy trilogy, A Seared Sky.
Launch parties might be physical events with champagne corks
popping, but these days are more likely to be online. Stuart launched his
trilogy with a Facebook event and Linda launched hers with a blog tour.
Science fiction and fantasy author, Shellie Horst, went to the
World Science Fiction Convention in Dublin to launch Distaff: A ScienceFiction Anthology by Female Authors. In this article she talks about women science fiction authors.
But not all book launches go to plan…
A mix-up over delivery saw Joy Stonehouse launching Witch-Bottles and Windlestraws without any books. Writers are creative, it’s what
they do. Read this post to see how she handled the bookless book launch.
There are several new launches in the pipeline. Sign up (top

books.
