The Fourth Kinetic by: Brady Moore, Tour Banner

Just getting started on this crazy, wild world of being a published author? Well I’m here to help. While I’m by no means a Suzanne Collins or James Dashner, I have had success in getting my books out there and building an audience. Here are a few things that have helped me on my journey that may help you on yours.

MARKETING, MARKETING, MARKETING!

- You don’t have to have a business degree or be a social media whiz. But you do need to make yourself known. Consistent posting on multiple social media platforms allows you to gain new followers while also giving you a space to engage with fans and inform them about upcoming events. Social media tags also allow your presence to get noticed by the algorithm which will widen your visibility. Familiarize yourself with apps like Canva that will help create enticing visuals.

CONTACT BOOKSTORES

- Familiarize yourself with your local bookstores. Particularly ones that are small businesses. Locally owned bookstores often have consignment programs that will allow you to get your books on shelves and give the readers around you a place to purchase physical copies without having to wait. These stores are also your best source for doing book signings and meet-and greets. Local libraries are also a great avenue for opportunities.

FIND LOCAL EVENTS

- This has been perhaps the most integral part of my success as an author. Searching for local events in your area allows you to build an audience and generate consistent sales. If you’re like me, with kids and another full time job, you’ll have to be intentional about searching for things in your area to take part in. I usually do a minimum of four to five events a year, including book festivals, school book fairs, holiday festivals and book conventions. Don’t be afraid to travel and know that you’ll need to put money into things like flyers, banners, posters, bookmarks, and business cards that will make your presentation stand out as a vendor.

PUBLIC SPEAKING

- I was by no means a public speaker before I became a published author. I generally hated speaking in front of crowds. But being able to talk about your craft and your work in front of people is one of the greatest ways to build your brand as an author. Finding your demographic, whether it’s elementary school children, teenagers, women, African-americans, etc. will allow you to speak directly to people who will be likely to read your books and spread the word.

NETWORK

- The best thing about doing events and making appearances is that it allows you to connect with other authors. Creating a network of fellow authors allows you to compare ideas, gain ARC readers, learn about other marketing opportunities, or simply engage with others who can offer support because they understand the struggles you’re going through as an author.

FIND YOUR VILLAGE

- The saying goes “it takes a village to raise a child”. It also takes a village to support an author. Whether it be friends or family, surround yourself with people who will help you share social media posts or use word of mouth to spread the word about your books. I usually have one or two people with me at every event to help operate as my wingperson.

Above all, remember that there is no perfect path to success as an author. By being passionate about your craft and working hard to create your book, you are a success!

The Fourth Kinetic by: Brady Moore, Promo Graphic

BLURB:

In this world, there are four strains of clairvoyants: Kinetics who can move objects with their minds, Prophets who have involuntary visions of the future, Readers who can delve into the innermost thoughts of others in an instant, and Aural who can transfer their consciousness to control the bodies of others.

At just 17 years old, Rion Grean is a Kinetic with no knowledge that he is not alone in his abilities. His protective mother had kept them constantly moving, even going as far as refusing to tell Rion about his father whom he never met. However, when an accident separates them, Rion finds himself being pursued by a covert militaristic force that sees his kind as dangerous anomalies in society. Suddenly thrust into a world filled with different factions of Clairvoyants, Rion must navigate through alliances and betrayals to determine who he can trust.

Despite his natural talents and intelligence, Rion has always struggled to make friends and find purpose in life due to his sheltered upbringing. But as he faces challenges outside of his comfort zone, he learns the true meaning of friendship and family. This is not a typical story of good versus evil; it is a deeply personal journey of self-discovery and the struggle to coexist in a society that fears what it cannot understand.
