Scavenger-Evolution final frontI only have one shot at releasing my debut novel, Scavenger: Evolution, out March 1st. I’m looking for advice on top of what I’ve already done.

  • My Goodreads Giveaway for 3 signed paperbacks (Ends 2/23)
  • Soft invites to my newsletter through Facebook timeline, Author page and Twitter, as well as installing the form at the bottom of my blog posts to make it easy to sign up.
  • A few emails to bloggers to set up guest posts and podcasts.
    • Guest Posts:
      • Clarissa Johal’s blog (live): #Sciencefiction #Adventure #Giveaway with Guest Author: Timothy C. Ward
      • Wag the Fox’s blog (live): Building Castles in Hugh Howey’s Sandbox
    • Book Reviews:
      • Ann Livi Andrews (live – Red Sands and Blue Dawn)
    • Podcasts:
      • Geek Radio Daily podcast (tbd – record 1/24)
      • Arm Cast Podcast (tbd – record 1/26)
  • While parts 1-3 of Scavenger: Evolution will be published via Kindle Select/Kindle Unlimited, and thus only on Amazon, but also free to Kindle Unlimited subscribers, I’m planning to release Scavenger: Evolution across all the major platforms on March 1. My intent in making the serialization was to garner readers to help have a nice number of reviews ready to post on release day of Book One.
  • Grassroots
    • Now that I have the cover art from Shawn King, I can start to make post cards or whatever to share in person or at local stores and libraries.

Any one have other suggestions? Websites I should visit?
