The #NaNoProMo Daily
What is #NaNoProMo ?
In the spirit of #NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) held every November) and #NaNoEdMo (National Novel Editing Month) every March to help writers edit the book they wrote in November, I created #NaNoProMo — National Novel Promotion Month in May. This is the inaugural year!

So, What is it Exactly?
A month-long initiative of tips, resources, and daily giveaways from experts across the book marketing and publishing industry -- all free, all to help YOU, my author friends, get a handle on your author promotion efforts.
