J. Graham Publishing encourages writers not only to showcase their literary
talent with their Chapbook, but also to promote themselves through
some of the examples listed below:
"Some helpful tips on how you can promote your chapbooks"
We also encourage those that do
not have a website, to at least have a webpage for
their
Chapbook(s) for publicity & promotion. If you are going to
promote yourself, it would
be beneficial to
have a page with your bio, a couple of photos, contact info, order
info and
an email address.
With the services of
Stellar Showcase Website Design & Creation you can be visible
online.
