Welcome to the November edition of the Whitney Morgan Media Post!
I want to pause for only a moment, as we enter a busy time of year, to say how grateful I am for all of you. Working together, building together, dreaming together has created times and memories I cherish. There are many celebrations ahead of us, many dreams coming true, many reasons to rush and cheer. I am excited for these new adventures, and I am pleased to take a breath, feel the cool of the coming winter on my cheeks, and soak up this ever sacred time of year. With you. I am feeling thankful and so very grateful for you.

Finding our Audience This November: Moving Beyond the Bookstore
As writers, we are always looking for our readers. As readers, we are always looking for our next favorite storyteller! So how do we find each other?
Recently, I came across an article by Brian Jud, published with Bowker, that sparked some great ideas on how to connect with readers beyond the four walls of a bookstore. I’ve summarized a few key takeaways for you, and if you’re interested in diving deeper, you can check out the full article here: Read the full article.
It’s fun to explore how we can make some new connections and grow our literary communities!
Expert Pull: Increase your visibility and reputation in your field. Engage in personal presentations, publish articles, and secure niche reviews. Leverage social media through blogging, podcasts, forums, discussion groups, and social networking to position yourself as an expert.
Local Media: Advertise in or submit articles to local newspapers to further establish your expertise.
Networking: Expand your network one-on-one, connecting with people who can bridge the gap between you and potential buyers.
Trade Shows: Attend relevant trade shows, even if you don't exhibit. These events provide valuable insights and networking opportunities with potential prospects.
Association Collaboration: Associations often require content for their newsletters. Allow them to excerpt from your book in exchange for free advertising in their newsletters.
Business Directories: Explore online business directories like Manta, Thomas Register of American Manufacturers, and Hoover's for contact information.
Web Searches: Conduct web searches to find individuals within companies or associations who might be interested in your book.
LinkedIn: Join LinkedIn to connect with potential business prospects and establish relationships before making direct contact.
Mailing Campaigns: Reach a broader audience through postcards, letters, and email campaigns. List brokers like InfoUSA can provide targeted lists.
Referrals: Encourage referrals from existing customers. Ask them for contacts in other divisions of their company or among their suppliers and customers.
Trade Magazines: Write articles for trade magazines in your niche and look for companies advertising in those publications.
Writer Outreach: For fiction authors, consider the various places where people read novels - cruise ships, travel sites, museums, and more. Suggest your book as a premium or gift for partnering businesses.

A Note from Rionna: Hey mystery lovers! I'm Rionna Morgan, co-creator and writer of Digital Shadows: The Mystery of the Encrypted Murder, in collaboration with PageDAO and fellow creators Greg Fishbone and Musashi13. We’re offering an immersive experience where you can join us in solving a murder mystery through encrypted clues, quests, and collectible character cards, all leading up to the release of a digital collectible and physical book. Stay tuned for more community events and surprises, and prepare to dive deep into the world of Digital Shadows! The mystery has just begun.
Here at Whitney Morgan Media, we are excited to announce our partnership with Alexandria Labs, a game-changing platform that brings us one step closer to a future where authors and readers truly control their digital books. Alexandria focuses on providing platformless digital books stored permanently online, meaning they’re not locked behind paywalls or susceptible to being taken down by corporations like Amazon or Google Books.
This collaboration offers authors more control than ever before—set your own pricing, royalties, and privacy settings, and even profit from secondary markets using sophisticated contracts. As a reader, you’ll own your books outright, with the ability to resell them whenever you wish, knowing your purchase directly supports the author. With Alexandria’s vision of true ownership, the future of digital books is brighter, fairer, and more in line with the values of both creators and their communities.
If you are interested in publishing with Alexandria, talk with your editor here at Whitney Morgan Media. We are more than happy to help you with this process! It’s part of what we are already doing!
Thank you for being a valued member of the Whitney Morgan Media community and family! May you have a joyous holiday season.
Warm regards,
The Whitney Morgan Media Team
