What’s in Your Email Signature?

Your email signature can be a great way to help promote your book. Include some brief info about your book and a hyperlink to your website or your publisher’s (if you don’t have a website, although you really should) for people to check out. Add a signature to your personal email account (and your work one, if you can) which references your book.

Think about the number of emails you send out in a day, the number of people whose messages you reply to, and also who those emails might get forwarded to. You never know. Everyone you know and everyone THEY know might potentially be someone who could be interested in your book.
