• Today's promo tip is to update your signature. I've seen lots of outdated and huge signature's lately. This is annoying for readers. They want to know what's new and they want to know quickly. So...... include your website address and your most current release. The way I determine a current release is a) what's been out in the last three months, b) what will be out in three months, c) the last thing you have available for people to purchase. Most people remember what they read by release date, publisher, author, then title. So include the Title, release month, and publishers name. If you have space you can include a tagline for you or your book. Make it 12 words or less. That's it. But keep it current. If you have a book out right now, you definitely shouldn't have a signature with last years releases in it! #
