Announce your Book Event Finale! (Click on the Image for a Clear View.) Welcome back to "UnEarth"!!   There's just one more step in this workshop.  Don't miss Step 13 coming up after the end of my novel, A Better Pair of Shoes "The Thinner Soul" . Today you'll plan your final chapters!  Introduce a new graphic and announce on your social media platforms at least 10 days ahead of the start of your finale event.  Also announce this separately on your blog.  Go as big or as simple as you like, but make it exciting. Here's where you use your last 7-10 chapters to bring your plot to a desired end.  You'll decide where to leave threads opened if you'll be continuing with a sequel, or whether to bring closure to the entire story.  In the final chapters, be sure to deliver on all the things that you set up in the beginning of your story.  Ensure that all the wires make sense, and finally add a bit of irony, horror, or epiphany for a memorable ending....

(Click on the Image for a Clear View.)   Welcome back to UnEarth!!    Today in Step 11 , we move into one of the most exciting parts of the Book Release Event.  Let's plan and host An Award Ceremony ! First, let's look at why this is such a vital part of the Suspended-Release Novel Formula.  Honestly, I can't think of a better way to appeal to new readers in the middle of a book release.  The Award Ceremony is a great implementation because it allows you to build intrigue about your main characters using the most riveting excerpts from your book as a part of the ceremony. Next, it builds excitement around the biggest subject matters of your unfolding plot. For example , one of the most popular awards of my Suspended-Release Novels have been the "Weight Lifter's Award".  This award is usually awarded to the character that does the most to overcome a hardship within the story.  Other exciting award presentations go to the  Best Female and Best...

Welcome back to UnEarth!   I hope you're enjoying the process of writing your first Suspended-Release Novel.  At this point in your Suspended-Release Event, you may choose to further engage with your audience by creating a Character Creation Contest .  This step can be a challenge for a new writer, and is therefore an optional book release event element.  By adding your contest mid-release, it makes for an exciting reveal.  Readers can look forward to the upcoming insertion of the winning character into the fireworks, as well as see how you answer the challenge of blending the new character into your unfolding plot. When you are ready , and before you get to Chapter 23 in your book, add the contest flyer or graphic to your blog and social media spaces.  Keep the instructions simple.  Participants will submit a "character profile" for consideration in your unfolding Su...

  (Click on the Image for a Clear View.) Welcome Back to UnEarth!   If you are writing your first book with Grace Call Communications in 2025 using the Suspended-Release Novel Formula... We're on to creating moments to Engage with your readers as you move through the writing phase of this adventure.   Let's talk about the "After-Six" Spoiler Prompts. After every six chapters, it's our Suspended-Release Novel tradition to stop and engage with the readers.  This is the perfect opportunity to perhaps highlight any big reveals in previous chapters for people that are just filing in as well as throwing it to what's coming up.  Try not to be too anxious and commit to writing through the fatigue and tough spots in your unfolding plot..  as explaining is not book writing.  Take a few days ahead of your next upcoming opportunity to engage to consider how you will approach your After-Six content and what fun and exciting news you will share. Coming up ...
