USA today bestselling author of Western Romance, Erin Wright, has worked every job under the sun, including library director, barista, teacher, website designer, and ranch hand, helping brand cattle, before settling into the career she’s always dreamed about: Author.
Despite starting out in KU in 2016, she went wide on all platforms in 2017 when she discovered she couldn’t get her books in libraries if she was exclusive to Amazon. She started the Wide for the Win Facebook group in 2019, to help other authors find information about being wide, and now the group has grown to a community of 14,390.
Erin breaks it down and lists the reasons why she made this decision.
She uses serial apps, website direct sales, multi-author promotions, as well as many platforms that we had never heard of.
If you are keen to diversify and find more ways to reach readers, this is the episode for you.
