How do I become a Author PLUS?

Essentially, this amounts to having your own web site, optimized for book sales, where you can upload stories, poems and blogs and then invite friends, family and colleagues to visit your web base, read your work, see your book advert and click through to make a purchase.

How can Edit Red make book promotion easy?


With so many writers self-publishing it is important that you take that extra step to bring more attention to your book. The easiest way to market your work is online and Edit Red has been tailored to the needs of independently and self published authors.

One thing most people overlook when trying to sell their books is what effective promotional tools excerpts and unrelated short stories can be. Edit Red changed its focus from being an e-zine to a writer's network after one of its founders, non-fiction author Alan Emmins, discovered how easy it was for him to sell his books off the back of articles and short fiction stories. Because Alan had the html skills to build web sites and take advantage of web communities, he was able to post short stories on various sites and build in an advert/hyperlink for his books that sent his readers straight to Amazon. He proved that it was much easier to sell books to somebody that had already read and enjoyed something by he had written, like a short story, than to somebody who had never read his work.

Of course, not everybody has html skills, so Edit Red has developed a foolproof system to attach an advert for your books to your own online activity. As an 'Author', adverts like the one below will be automatically added to your Edit Red home page (editred.com/yourname), to all your story, poem and blog uploads and to all your internally sent e-mails.
