3-week, 15-blog blog tour with book giveaways.
Goodreads giveaway. We will seek to host an author Q&A chat on
Goodreads.
We will reach out to Sisters in Crime for marketing possibilities,
as well as to International Thriller Writers (Chanette is already a
member).
We will seek features on Chanette and guest articles from national
publications, tying in to the end of apartheid, the start of
democracy, and themes of racial identities and politics that are
related both to the novel, to her experience of South Africa, and
supremely relevant to the U.S. right now. 2018 is 25th anniversary
of S. Africa’s transition to “democracy" as well as Mandela's
winning of the Nobel Peace Prize.
We will send copies to authors whose work has common ground--e.g.,
Barbara Kingsolver, Zakes Mda, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Jodi
Picoult, and seek blurbs wherever possible.
We will seek out book clubs who are interested in the book and
offer the chance to win a SKYPE visit with the author.
Promotion at book fairs and trade shows
We will submit the book for relevant awards.
Promotion online via Catalyst's website, email lists (in
development) and social media (blog, twitter, facebook, instagram,
and youtube) with author and publisher interviews, chats, and guest
posts.
Simultaneous e-book and print release.
Chanette Paul: South African writer Chanette Paul has published 41
crime, suspense and romance novels over her prolific career. A
bestselling author in her native country, she makes her
U.S./English debut with Sacrificed.
Chanette’s stories are marked by strong female characters, women
who earn their strength by confronting their demons, both internal
and external, and by taking full responsibility for their choices.
Her books are also known for the subtle social commentary and dry
humor.
In South Africa, Chanette has been nominated six times for the
prestigious ATKV-Woordveertjies award and has won the South African
Lekkerlit award 3 times. She serves as an editor for LAPA
Publishers. Sacrificed was translated into Dutch and launched in
2015 at the Antwerp Book Fair.
