The Amazing Koobug

I first posted on Koobug back on 12 December 2012. I discovered the site quite by accident, having clicked on a link in a random tweet that found its way in front of my eyes. Back then there were just a handful of bloggers on this site, each looking for ways to better communicate with the world of authors and readers. Koobug offered an on-ramp to the highway that could carry us as far as we’d dare travel.

In less than a year, I have watched as Koobug has grown into a formidable force in online writers’ communities. There are nearly 80 bloggers on this amazing site, and this is only the beginning. This growth spurt can be attributed to those who keep the site up and running. What Koobug has become over the last year is nothing short of fantastic. The upgrades have knocked down walls and opened doors, creating a true community of writers and readers, presenting new ways to reach one another.

It is because of Koobug that I, an American author, have a larger fan base in the United Kingdom than I have in my own country. Prior to my involvement with Koobug, I hadn’t sold more than a single ebook copy of Jazz Baby in the entire U.K. Now, it’s all of you wonderful Brits who have been my biggest and best supporters. And I thank each and every one of you.

I believe in using any and every tool available when promoting our work. That means using many different websites. But I can honestly say that Koobug is far and away the best site with which I have been involved. It’s FREE. They don’t charge silly fees to “upgrade” your “membership.” I’ve gone that route and have seen greater results from good old FREE Koobug.

It’s all about the interaction between readers and writers on this site. Have a publishing or writing question? Post it in a blog and you’ll receive responses offering a variety of paths toward the answer. Looking for a new author to read? There’s plenty to choose from on Koobug. I’ve discovered a few new favorites right here on this site. Just peruse the line of books flowing across the bottom of the screen, choose one, read it, and see that this is truly the indie way. Have you created a new short story or poem or chapter from your latest novel? Post it on Koobug and the world will read it.

So tell your friends about the amazing Koobug; tweet links to the latest posts or share a link to an old favorite. The wider the reach, the greater the opportunities. Koobug is truly the indie way.
