Face Up
It seems a writer, no matter how successful, can get away without at least some self promotion. Informing the writing media of any successes, however small is a good beginning, but keep your eyes open for other publicity opportunities. Writers’ Forum, for example, are advertising for short news articles about writers’ groups. If you are a member of one then think about what makes your group unique and send in a photo. It worked for my group FourTold Fiction. It could work for yours.
