On the Go with Children's Author Karen Cioffi on her final stop of her week long blog tour. Welcome!

Children's Author Karen Cioffi

Karen what do you find most important to grow your career as an author?

Author visits are an important strategy in book marketing. You won’t sell books if no one knows they’re available for sale. This is one marketing strategy I am remiss in. I haven’t done any speaking engagements or author signings. I did talk to my local library about speaking there, but events like that are only done at the main branches. Unfortunately, I never followed through.

I always think if I do all this when will I write. So What else are you looking into.
Speaking engagements is on my ‘to do’ list. Book signings, I’m undecided on. I’ve read that they’re not really worth the effort, but I will be looking into it further. What’s effective for on book marketer may not work for another and what doesn’t work for one may work for another. So, always test the waters before saying ‘no.’ One of my favorite sayings is: Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

That's a great saying Karen. And I agree test the waters, try it all and then decide. But what have you found a good use of your time and enjoyable ?


I do however, do online writing and marketing workshops and webinars, and most recently became a Writing Children’s Fiction instructor for the Long Story Short Writing School.

How can our readers find you and what you are up to or buy your books?

Whale Hunting - it's not what you think

Whale Hunting


The Whale Hunters Process™
Whale hunting focuses on creating a disciplined sales culture in your company that allows you to optimize your ability to catch and harvest whales. This dramatic shift in thinking and practice precipitates explosive growth of your company’s revenues and market position.
The nine-phase process model is consistent across companies and industries, but each company maps the model to its own steps.
Scouting
It all starts with knowing who you're hunting. With a focus on market and sales research and the creation of a target filter, scouting guides you to know, seek and harpoon whales whose business will be ideal for you.
Hunting
Hunting focuses on communicating with, pitching, and securely closing your ideal whale accounts. Our method of progressive discovery and disclosure relies on critical questions at each step of the hunt.
Harvesting
Harvesting brings sales and non-sales departments together in an integrated process to ensure you harvest your whale effectively, efficiently and harmoniously. It includes key account management and growing new business with your best accounts.
