However, it just seems without an outside push that it would attract the same circle of family and friends (and to quote Seinfield, "There's nothing wrong with that."). I guess, in your case and perhaps in all cases, it might take the old fisherman's adage to create an audience: "You fish where the fish are." Perhaps attending career days at junior and senior high schools as an author will help your exposure. As for my murder mysteries, I may have to have anti-career days in federal penitentiaries to captive audiences. In some ways, both our audiences will have no choice but to attend and chat us up in some fashion. Best of luck.Rick Bylinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10493557860835710721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3546477542650006798.post-20980775632642828382011-05-25T21:36:16.440-04:002011-05-25T21:36:16.440-04:00I'm on Facebook with loads of friends.

Part of the problem I see is that most of my contacts are other writers instead of my target audience- young adults and teens. Maybe I'm not using the media the right way. I don't know. Writers say you need a web page. Maybe that's the answer???Amanda Borenstadthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03061109442550378113noreply@blogger.com
