The 777 Challenge

I’ve been tagged by my lovely friend Emma Calin in the 777 challenge.

The rules... Go to Page 7, 70, or 170 of a current Work in Progress or recently published work and choose either the first complete paragraph or 7 lines of dialogue to share. Paste to FB and tag 7 other authors to do the same.

Here is a paragraph excerpt from Page 7 of ‘How To Party Online’

You might be under the impression that to be successful online, you have to have an established social network in place, but that’s not strictly true. I started promoting online without a pre-existing social platform and did so successfully. In this book, I aim to show you how you too can produce measurable results from your very first online party and, while you are working towards building up your social network, how to make it fun.

And on Wednesday 31^st July I’m hosting an online party to officially launch ‘How To Party Online’ and love you to join me on the day. Before then do pop over to the party page on Facebook and check it out. I promise fun and prizes!

DG Life Magazine says:

“Janice has made it her business to get stuck into the whole self-publishing malarkey. Savvy enough to realise it’s not enough to simply write, she’s studied social media marketing until it could be her specialist subject on Mastermind. She can plan a book launch, maximise publicity, keep the momentum going after the first initial flush, and perhaps most of all, she knows how to make the whole thing fun, which is no mean feat”.
