This is a very short post – mostly making a note to myself so I can use it later. I’m usually against “book promotion” on Twitter, instead I focus on connecting and providing value, sharing my blog posts but not usually selling my book or doing promotion. BUT Megan Crewe pointed out that “RT&F” (retweet and follow) giveaways work well, especially for our genre (young adult). But instead of just doing a straight giveaway, she also included the preorder info, which lead to some new sales.
I’ll try this out on my next big book launch. You do need a great image designed. This is her tweet:
RT&F for a chance to win one of the first hardcovers of A MORTAL SONG! Intl OK. Ends 8/26. https://t.co/Xsg5WPTnNg pic.twitter.com/yPpeEdYIIC

Do you have any other powerful Twitter strategies you’ve used? Post in the comments!
I’ve spent 15 years helping authors write, publish, and sell books. When I’m not writing, I’m probably in a castle somewhere with cats.
