Authors who look to conduct a successful book publicity campaign, need to do a lot of things correctly.  Here are 12 steps they must take to even have a chance at raising their brand, increasing book sales, and effectively spreading a positive message:

2. Get a good website up — one with functionality and clean design – at least five months prior to pub date.Your site is your calling card and the best way to showcase who you are, what your book is about, and how to get in touch with you.

3.
