My article for the Alliance of Independent Authors has just been published on their Author Advice Centre blog, and includes a list of 5 writing articles to help you prepare for Camp NaNoWriMo.

Camp NaNoWriMo ALLi Article

I plan on using the time to write a giveaway to build my Bodrum Peninsula Travel Guide mailing list.

I already giveaway free Quick Reference Travel Guides to my mailing list, and I also use the list to promote my Turkey Travel Guides, but this summer I wanted to offer something a little bit different.

One of the best ways to build your mailing list is to offer readers a sample of your writing for free. This could be a couple of free chapters, a short story or novella. It’s a great investment with long term benefits.

I’m using my time at Camp to get the first draft of a giveaway written. I plan on writing a collection of poems about my new adopted home of Bodrum in Turkey, and using it as a free giveaway to encourage people to sign up to my Bodrum Travel Guide mailing list. I’m not sure whether the union of travel guide and travel-inspired poetry will be successful, but the Turkish sunshine has inspired me to give it a shot.
