You finished NaNoWriMo but what's next?
Let us be the first to tell you congratulations on your hard work. In 30 days you went from a blank page to 50,000 words and that was no easy feat.
Through the writing process you undoubtedly went through highs and lows but still continued to write despite it all. The glory of finishing your novel is truly yours. Now heres the hard part, finding the readers.
You must be asking yourself now, "How do I find readers and where should I promote my novel?"
At Pen Pinery we think we found the perfect solution to the next step in sharing your novel with the world, our website!
We have developed the easy to use social platform for writers and readers to find each other and it couldn't be any easier.
It only takes two steps:
Pen Pinery is not a marketplace. The easiest combo to describe it is: Pen Pinery = NaNoWriMo + GoodReads
You can share published works by connecting to 3rd party websites (Amazon link, Wattspad, etc), track WIP projects, and write blog posts for all your reader fans to follow.
What makes us different is we're a community built by writers and book lovers.
We're an independent little community built for the love writing, plan and simple. So if you're looking for a less corporate way to promote your book you found it!
By being part of our community you can easily share your novel with an unlimited amount of people by tagging your novel in genres or by sub-categories. Readers can vote on your novel to see it rank on our community feed, as well as add your books to their bookshelf for later.
Once you book is added to Pen Pinery share it on social media and get your friends and fans following you for more updates on your own customizable profile.
Pro-tip:
If you really want to take advantage or Pen Pinery and see a higher success rate of organic readers, we recommend posting on your author profile any kind of content you would post on social media.
Congrats again on finishing NaNoWriMo and we can't wait to read your wonderful novels.
