My advice has always been, 'show up'. Make the work, promote it, don't give up. Over my lifetime, I've also taken business workshops, which help me introduce myself, describe my book in two sentences, with sales, and networking. What worked for my design business has worked for promoting my book as well.
I am fortunate to have supportive writing buddies who remind me when it's time to stop editing and get the work out. The more people you connect with, the better chances you have to find the one who loves your work.
Excellent advice - and of course it's right. I've learnt so much through networking.
Thank you, Alice
To have published three books and have another in the wings is worth four GOLD stars!
lol (I hate that abbreviation) but it says what I did - more of a chuckle than an outright laugh.
Of course, you are the one who deserves an accolade. And maybe you'll be mixing with the stars!

I'm so pleased for you, that really is exceptionally good news and a first novel too. Do you know what the key factor was in your success (apart from writing a jolly good book, of course)? Sometimes one can point to 'a moment' that changed everything.
