Unagented authors can win a critique with agent Alyssa Eisner Henkin at Trident Media Group, and agented authors can win marketing consultation with Shelli herself.<\/p>\n<p>The even more amazing thing about this contest is that Shelli is giving lots of stuff away for free&#8211;advice in the form of interviews from people on all sides of the publishing industry. A librarian, an indie bookstore owner, and a social media guru all gave their top advice for how to promote your book. I don&#8217;t mind telling you that for someone like me, 3.5 months away from publication, this is like gold.<\/p>\n<p>So in case you need amazing marketing advice (because really, who doesn&#8217;t?) and if you want to *win*, go to faereality.blogspot.com and enter today. Yes, if you read the contest requirements carefully, you&#8217;ll know that I get more points toward a potential win because I&#8217;m blogging about this to you, but that should actually motivate you *more* go to there. Because if I&#8217;m blogging about it in the middle of the afternoon, that must mean I think it&#8217;s worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Have a good weekend, everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contest Alert!
