I’ve been
involved with a lot of different promo sites over the last while but I have to
admit that I’ve never been treated quite as personally as what I experienced with
Amy. She’s quick to respond, accurate with her reviews and lovely to interact
with.

Thank you so, so much for sharing my work here on your wonderful blog! I just wanted to add a note about a promotion I just started. Any holiday/Christmas book will receive a full promo for only $12.25! Check out the order page for more details.

Amy, I’m so glad you agreed to this visit.
Why
Did You Begin Offering Promotional Services on A Girl and Her Kindle?
Did You Begin Offering Promotional Services on A Girl and Her Kindle?
As an indie author, I understand how hard it can be
to find time for promotion and also how expensive it can be. I started offering
promotional services as a way to help struggling indie authors be able to
afford promotional services. There are a number of similar businesses out
there, but many are just there to take your money and slap your book on their
website. That’s not what I’m about. I honestly care about what the author
wants, how much they can afford, and giving them the most bang for their buck.
That’s why I offer prices that are well below my competitors. For me, it’s more
about helping other authors succeed than anything else.

I’m dying to know how you find the time
to read all the books you do in order to write the reviews for each one?
First of all, I’m an avid
reader and find time wherever I can to read. It might be while I make dinner or
while sitting in the car waiting for my boyfriend to get off work. If I have a
free minute, you can bet my Kindle is in hand.

Do you find it hard to promote a genre
you don’t like?
I always do my best to promote books knowing that
not all tastes are the same. I, too, am an indie author and understand that
some people may not like the genre I write in. With that said, I take it one
book at a time and promote the book so that it shines for those that are
interested in that genre. I do this by making sure to choose hashtags that will
put the book in front of the right readers and by pinning the book to the right
boards on Pinterest.

How many new followers do you get each
week when you’re so active on social media?
It’s honestly hard to say. I don’t pay close attention
to the numbers, but the numbers are always rising. There are currently 5600
Facebook fans and 2100 Twitters followers.

What’s your favorite part of the job? Is
it the reading, the promoting, meeting new people or something else entirely?
My absolute favorite part of the job is hearing how
the authors benefited from the promotion. When I hear things like, “My
book sales tripled” or “I’ve sold 7000+ copies since you started
promoting my book!” I feel wonderful. It honestly means something to me to
be helping fellow authors make their dreams come true. I want people to succeed
when they purchase my services.

What are your dreams for the Girl with a
Kindle?
My dream is for women young and old to be able to
come to the website and find books they enjoy. That’s why I work hard to
promote a variety of authors and different genres. While I do try to work in
books that men will enjoy, make no mistake, A Girl and Her Kindle is a place
for women to feel at home. With that said, I want female authors, and men that
write women’s fiction, to come to think of A Girl and Her Kindle whenever they
have promotional needs. In other words, I want to be the girl in the middle that
brings readers and writers together.
