Sample Sunday
| September 9, 2011 | Posted by Richard Freeland under My Writing |
This Sunday I’ll start participating in an experiment David Wisehart of the Kindle Author blog thought up, called “Sample Sunday”. The premise – authors place samples of their work, be they short stories, excerpts of novels, works-in-progress, poetry – whatever strikes their fancy – on their websites or blogs. Then, come Sunday, they Tweet these samples to the world at large, for your enjoyment.
All in all a great way for new authors to gain exposure, and for rabid readers to appease their literary hunger for new and exciting stories. David started this little experiment in December 2010 (another creative approach to giving new authors a promotional shot in the arm, complimenting his already popular interviews), so I’m a little late to the party. But, as the saying goes, better late than never.
For any budding writers who read this and who might want to contribute their own work to Sample Sunday, the Twitter hashtag is #SampleSunday, or #ss for short.
By the way, if you plan to or you have published your work electronically and it’s suitable for Kindle
