My Street Team

The most important things to any publishing novelist are launching a novel well and getting reviews and visibility. My Street Team is intended to be a community of readers who enjoy clean Christian thrillers and don’t mind helping a novelist like me promote my books. For that reason, I want to make sure the community is composed of dedicated, engaged people. It should be fun, but when push comes to shove, I need a team of people who are willing and able to step up, leave a review, and help promote my new releases and other events!

You are reading this note because you have expressed support for my books and requested to be on this team. You are part of the audience I am writing to, but there are readers just like you who haven’t heard about me or my books yet. I need your help finding them.

The Give and Take

As with any partnership, there’s a mutual scratching of backs. Here’s what you’ll get by being a member of my Street Team.

  • You will be offered a free e-copy ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) of my next novel before the release date or upon the release date. I will occasionally hold a paperback or e-book giveaway of that novel exclusively for Street Team members.
  • Through my Street Team newsletter, you will get an insider’s look at how the writing/publishing process works. I’ll keep you up to date on my writing journey, the publishing process, cover art, and future projects. Sometimes I’ll ask for your opinion on cover art and other choices I need to make. Your voice matters.

Here’s where you can scratch my back. As a member of the Street Team, I will ask you to do the following:

  • Post a review of my newest release (and any previous releases if you wish) on Amazon, Goodreads, BookBub, or possibly your own blog. At a minimum, a posted review of my latest novel at Amazon is now required to be part of the Street Team. Please understand that if you fail to post a review when you agreed to, you will not be offered future ARCs (Advanced Reader Copies).
  • Help me spread the word about my books via Facebook, Twitter, and any other social networking sites you frequent. How does this work? I’ll pass promotional posts and publishing news along to you via my Facebook author page. Then you can share them with those in your circle at your discretion. Don’t worry. I won’t typically inundate you with promotional posts, though activity will certainly escalate the closer I get to the next novel’s release day. Here are ways you can share:
    • Leave a review at Amazon.
    • Leave a review at Goodreads.
    • Leave a review at BookBub.
    • Add the book to your Goodreads to-read list.
    • Feature the book on your blog.
    • Post a photo or meme of the book or book promotion on social media (or in a store, at a coffee shop, with your dog, etc.) with a link to my book.
    • Ask your local library to order a copy of my novel.
    • Share memes of the book on social media (that you create or I share with you).
  • Most importantly, please pray for my writing ministry. Yes, this is a ministry of writing. I wouldn’t be writing clean Christian suspense if I didn’t believe God had called me to do so. As a believer in Christ, I see each book as an opportunity not only to entertain but also to encourage others through a biblical message. I’m also committed to writing novels that are void of profanity, crude language, or sensual scenes. If you also believe in clean, meaningful Christian suspense, then we’d make a good team.
