Writer Wednesday: Teaming Up With Other Authors

It's no secret that I'm a huge proponent of authors supporting other authors, but today I want to take that one step further and talk about authors teaming up with other authors. This is such a great way to help each other promote and to reach a new audience. This week, I'm teaming up with 11 other YA authors to bring readers a huge giveaway. It's great for the readers, and it's great for the authors too because we are reaching new potential fans and sharing our fan bases with each other. If you haven't yet teamed up with other authors like this, I'd encourage you to try it. And before you go, check out the giveaway and be sure to enter. There are so many prizes to win!


First, here are the participating authors:

  1. It is a good idea to team up with other writers. I do so every now and then, although the marketing involved takes a lot of time.

    1. It does take a lot of time. I have a social media manager and she organized the entire thing. I don't think I could have done it on my own, not with all the editing I do.

  5. My cp Kimberly has done a few of these, and they do seem to work really well for exposing authors. Which that was an odd word choice, but I'm too lazy to find another one. ;)

    1. I don't know about that, but I think it's important for authors to share what they learn with other authors.
