What Lily did next

Stumbling on through promotion land

Me again.

So I left you last week in 2021. The heady days of thinking I had published all the books I would publish and I could just have fun writing. Oh dear Randomer I was wrong.

People wanted poetry, my poetry. They expected this book thing to continue.

For my first two books I had plundered the archives and there was not a lot of book worthy material left to publish in the old back catalogue. I had however been writing and studying creative writing at uni so there was some newer stuff floating about.

After a chat with a friend (oh how lucky I am to have wise humans around me) I /we decided a series of poetry books sounded like a good idea. As I am Poetic Rainbow 9 on Instagram (no matter the handle this is part of my identity) I/we decided on a rainbow collection so that was seven books! Yep seven! I had just about got my head around the idea of a third book!

So I created Rainbows Red Book of Poetry. Went in full tilt; blog tour, and actual promotion. I’ve used newsletters, websites and a ton of social media with some beautiful graphics by talented peeps and some Twitter Ads thrown in for good measure. This book seems top of my poetry tree reader wise.

Then, somehow I ended up publishing picture books…
