The following is a list of things I’ve seen authors achieve through their own interpersonal network. (nb: excludes social media which is why i’m not using the phrase social network).
- Get 5 offers from publishers to read a book that was still being drafted.
- Get an invitation to speak to a school group.
- Get a spot talking at a bookshop to their bookclub.
- Get their books into libraries.
- Meet the editor who made their work great.
- Get a publishing contract with a one of the bigger Small Press.
- Get someone to sell their books on their behalf at various markets.
- Meet a great cover designer.
- Meet more famous authors and gain endorsements from them.
- Make new friends.
See my post on how to network for how you can achieve some of these benefits.
It is appropriate time to make some plans for the future and it is time to be happy.
