A little while ago I entered by first novel, Locked Within, into a contest being held by WiDo Publishing. The prize is to be considered for a publishing contract. Of three finalists, any or all may be offered a contract.
Today it's been officially announced that I am one of the three finalists.
Now I have to put together a promotional plan as the last step, so if anybody's got any advice, I'd really appreciate the help!

WiDo Contest
Paul Anthony Shortt believes in magic and monsters. In ghosts and fairies. The creatures that lurk under the bed and inside the closet. The things that live in the dark, and the heroes who stand against them. Above all, he believes that stories have the power to change the world, and the most important stories are the ones which show that monsters can be beaten.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Paul! Advice? Being active on social media is a huge plus. Have you considered joining the A to Z Challenge to get more active on your blog here and add more followers? And it's not just about followers, but it's about letting people know who you are, building relationships and creating a cheering squad for along the way. I like what you're doing on Twitter btw, that's a very good step as well. Good luck!
