Before Rudi Raab and I published our historical novel Stumbling Stone, we launched a website, stumbling-stone.com. It’s been a great place to post photos and other material that was the basis for our mystery/romance novel.
Recently I’ve been experimenting with various ways to get the word out about our book. Our Stumbling Stone Facebook page sometimes reaches 150-400 people and “drives” people to read our latest blog posted on the website.
I just started experimenting with posting the blog on Medium.com, a platform for writers. So far, there’s been some modest return on that effort and Medium sends stats about how many people have viewed each post.
Would love to hear other ideas and others’ experience with Medium.com. Email me at freestonejulie@gmail.com.

One of my favorite things about BAIPA is its culture of generosity, the willingness — even eagerness — to share what we have each learned in the process of bringing stories to life. We provide educational programs, networking, marketing opportunities, encouragement, and information on industry vendors and services. And lots of one-on-one advice and mentoring.
We welcome all who have an interest in making connections within the world of independent publishing and learning more about how to publish and sell their work successfully. Together we are raising the standard of independent publishing and helping our members thrive.
Do join us!
