Feature & Follow (7): Publishing

FF 2012 Feature & Follow #120

Feature and Follow Friday is hosted by both Alison Can Read and Parakunkee’s View. This is a great way to gain blog followers for book bloggers, follow other blogs, and get to know each other. Each week a different question is posted by our hosts and we get to answer. You can find more info about this meme here.
 
Q: What have you learned from book blogging that you didn't know before about the publishing industry?

I feel like I've learned lots, but am still learning since I'm new to the whole book blogging thing. I didn't realize what a huge impact social media had on book marketing. I love how accessible some authors and publishers are, and how it is such an integrative community. I personally love attending book signings. I've also fallen in love with the Indie world. I love that anyone can publish their own book if they really want to.

  1. I've learned a lot of that too over the years! Mostly how much authors are freaking awesome when you get to meet them! And other technical things too regarding publishing and whatnot!
