A collection of poetry by Brandice Schnabel

Do you want to help spread the word about Columbus Groove? Here are some ways that you can help promote the book!

1. Please review the book. If you’ve purchased Columbus Groove and you’re willing to do a write-up of your thoughts and impressions, please post your review on any review sites that you frequent. Posting your review on (click for links to book listing) Amazon, Goodreads, weRead, Lulu, LibraryThing, and Shelfari (any of those that you use, or any other sites that you use) is endlessly helpful in improving the visibility of the book. If you haven’t purchased the book and are interested in reading it for review purposes, please contact me about receiving a complimentary copy at writing@brandice.net.

2. Please become a fan. In addition to reviewing the book and adding it to your various digital bookshelves, becoming a fan of the author (me) on these sites further helps visibility, not just for this particular book, but for me as a writer, which will be helpful when I pursue further publishing efforts down the road. You can become of the book on Facebook, and you can become a fan of the author on (click for author listing) Goodreads, weRead, LibraryThing, and Shelfari, among other sites.

3. Give away bookmarks. If you’re willing to hand out bookmarks to anyone you know who might enjoy my poetry, or you’re willing to take a bundle of bookmarks to local coffee shops and bookstores that would be willing to have my bookmarks laying around, please email me at writing@brandice.net. :) The title poem is on the back of the bookmark!

4. Help with the word of mouth promotion. Quite simply, tell people about the book and carry it with you if you’re reading it, in hopes of attracting other poetry lovers.

5. Give the book as a gift. A small volume of poetry can be a lovely gift for the literature-loving friend or family member, especially when the work is published and signed by a local writer. If you enjoy the work, please gift it to anyone who may enjoy it as well. :)

6. Connect me with local bookstores. Do you have a bookstore in your area that you believe would carry my book and maybe do a book signing or a reading? If so, please send me some contact information for the store’s PR person. I would very much love to do some book signings and/or readings within a reasonable distance (Ohio, western PA, etc.). Any help in scoping out local bookstore (especially those that support self published local works) would be hugely appreciated.
