" At least once per week I post a giveaway, and many people like and share my post. Again, it’s another way to keep my page active. The more interesting or fun your posts are, the more readers want to hang out with you. The nicer you make your sites, the more people may want to linger. Make sure your banner is updated and eye-catching, detailing your newest release with buy or preorder buttons and links. Answer all of your messages. Create a tab where readers can purchase your books. Feature your website prominently on the page. Keep things organized. Make sure your book page shows the series order and offers lots of fun extras, like bonus short stories, book trailers, special reviews, or maps detailing the setting of your book. Keep things professional. "

" To be successful, you need talent (work your craft, create strong characters and interesting stories, and never publish or submit anything subpar), perseverance (don’t give up, take risks, be bold), and luck (right place, right time for your story). But I believe you make your own luck by always improving your craft (no matter how many bestsellers you’ve written) and never giving up. Successful writers are successful because they love what they do with a passion so strong they refuse to stop even when faced with obstacles.” —Allison Brennan, New York Times Best-Selling Author "
