So, sales are trickling - 15 Kindle editions and one paperback in the last month or so. I've been Twittering and Squidooing, and my two websites are fully up and running. Five 5-star reviews so far and I've sent a copy to the area library, which act ties in with a possible mention on local radio.
It's a bit frustrating, really. I've been trying to contact film industry folk, with no response apart from "Get an agent". So I'm wondering what to do next. I have Kindle et al versions, an adobe Digital Editions version and print-on-demand paperbacks available in the UK and US.
Any thoughts on how to outstrip the competition? Thanks.

Why not try that? And many congratulations on your book.

A sports journalist friend who has had 27 books published, many of them about great cricket and football heroes, still struggles with publicity above all else.
And that's despite the fact that he was a national sports journalist for perhaps 40 years, possibly more, and has a son who's a TV sports journalist.
I know this sounds unhelpful. All I'm saying is that publicity is difficult, but you really have to work at it, as it's almost as important as the book itself, in my opinion.
