An Author - Coming to Life
I'm dipping my toes into the vast ocean of the self-publishing industry, a realm as vast and mysterious as any sea charted by ancient mariners. Marketing strategies, audience engagement, carving out my niche—it's all uncharted waters for me. I'm not your typical self-publisher, following the currents of mainstream methods. No, I've set my sails against the wind.
Creating worlds and weaving tales is where my passion truly lies, far outweighing the allure of promotion. Yet, I understand the dance between visibility and obscurity.
TikTok will be my stage, a place where I'll share whispers of my imagination. SubStack will be my sanctuary, a haven for my official announcements and the birthplace of my stories. SubStack isn't just a platform; it's where my writer's soul finds its voice.
My latest venture, a novel that thrills me to my core, is already taking shape. SubStack subscribers will be the first to catch glimpses of this world I'm conjuring, long before the echoes reach the halls of TikTok.
The marketing winds are shifting, and I find my compass pointing towards a personal brand. "Mike Newlon" isn't just a name on a book—it's a promise of journeys untold, a label for stories that linger long after the last page is turned.
A weekly tale is brewing, exclusive to SubStack. With five chapters down and fifteen to go, I vow to craft the entire saga before releasing the first installment. I refuse to rush the craft, to sacrifice the sanctity of storytelling at the altar of deadlines. The journey will be complete—quality shall triumph over the ticking clock.
As the calendar pages flutter towards February 5th, the day of my debut release draws near. And with it, a GoodReads giveaway is afoot, casting my eBook into the hands of eager readers until February 11th.
"Delusional: Minds of Madness," the title of the giveaway, beckons.
And now, as the hourglass of this message nears its end, I leave you perched on the edge of revelation. Today, I will unveil the first chapter of my new novel, accompanied by the art that has blossomed from its essence. Stay tuned, for today, SubStack will be the stage where the curtain rises, just a glimpse before the full performance begins.
Keep your eyes on the horizon. The story unfolds...
