From Imagination To Publication

Rachael Harrie's Platform-Building Campaign

This couldn't have come at a better time. I need something like this. Publishing a debut novel is exciting and fun, but I have no experience to work with. I'm trying to network and market myself and my book, but it's hard to know what to do and how. Things worked out a little different for me with THE DESCENDANTS. I didn't go down the typical path of query, find agent, find publisher. I got a lucky break with ZOVA Books at the Southern California Writers Conference and was fortunate enough to be introduced to three wonderful people with ZOVA through a great author, Michele Scott. That being said, I have no agent on my side coaching me through this process. ZOVA has been so helpful, but to be a part of this blogging campaign is a real opportunity to meet fellow authors, get and give advice, share stories, and promote each other. I'm so excited about joining. I can't wait to find out what's in store!

The deadline is August 31st.....

    Thanks for stopping by my blog, Jessica, and congrats on both the book and your wedding! You must certainly still be in newlywed glow stage, and I can only imagine how on top of the world you must feel between your book and getting married!

    Hi Jessica :D

    I'm in your YA group - only got around to signing up yesterday afternoon. I'm really looking forward to getting to know fellow writers and campaigning with them.
    Congrats on your up and coming release :D
    (I'm in the group as Scribble Muse but don't use blogger so it's kind of confusing when I sign for stuff)
