Publishing & Marketing Realities

Christine Rose, half of the Christine and Ethan Rose writing team that brought us the Rowan of the Wood fantasy series, has started offering her services as a social media and publishing consultant. After being on the road and in the publishing trenches for over three years, Christine has written a book called Publishing and Marketing Realities for the Emerging Author: A Guide to Help Authors Effectively Choose a Publishing Path and Marketing Strategies.

Christine Rose shares what she’s learned the hard way. From starting with an Indie Press, through self-publishing, to finding a NY Agent and playing with the big boys. No nonsense. No tiptoeing. She tells it like it is. Christine has traveled coast to coast promoting her work, along the way becoming a social networking maverick and an Amazon bestselling author. Her marketing efforts sold over five times more books in the crucial first year than the average books sells in its lifetime. Publishing & Marketing Realities is her guide around the pitfalls en route to success.

“Wonderful! I like what you have done, and fast! It is a much better website. Finally someone has done what all the experts (from Writing Conferences like SanFrancisco and DFW) have been preaching.” ~J. Fred Beckman, Emerging Author of Amour et Vengeance

“This was my first time to format and upload an e-book to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other online sites. I didn’t have a clue how to do so. Christine gave me the confidence and instruction I needed to move forward.” ~ Anne Fifield, Emerging Author of Owner Turn-In
