<p>That was quite a mouthful :)</p>
<p>No print publisher, I have self-published my stories via several e-book distributors. As they are in English AND e-books, Denmark is not really my market. Of course there are writing groups in Denmark, just not in my area. I receive plenty of support from writing friends in the US and Britain, however, and as you can imagine, social media are extremely important for me.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>Do you have a print publisher? Do they distribute in the US and other English speaking countries? Are there NO writing groups at all in Denmark? I believe Sister's in Crime allows foreign members (and it's not just for female writers). Also check out Mystery Writers of America. Links below. </p>
<p>People all over the world belong to the Murder must market e-list. Link to website below.</p>

<p>There's also an international thriller writers group. You appear to be rather isolated. It's imperative that you link up with people online, not just here, but other places. I belong to NE chapter of Sisters in Crime and have my own webpage there under member listing. The murder market website has some fantastic suggestions/ideas about Internet marketing.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Hi Susan.</p>
<p>My situation is a bit special as I live in Denmark but write crime fiction - even e-books - in English. Besides I live in a region which is mainly a national park so I have never heard of ANY other writers of fiction in the vicinity. So whatever I do, most of it will have to be via the internet.</p>

I don't know what genre you write ... sorry, missed the earlier discussion ... but are there any writing orgs nearby? Local chapters of romance or mystery writers? When I lived in New Orleans I belonged to a romance writers chapter, even tho I write thrillers, not romance. The reason being that the group was very active, met once/month, with speakers and generally very very supporters of members, published or not. The published members might be able to point you in some directions. <br/>

<p>My pleasure, Dorte. And thanks for the good wishes. Quite a few authors, I've noticed, have started doing 'blog tours' - guest blogging on a dozen or so different blogs. I think it's a really effective way of getting a new audience, and a lot of fun too, I'd imagine. No air fair, petrol, hold-ups in traffic, waiting for buses or trains in the freezing cold . . . Just about being a bit creative, I suppose. Thinking outside the box, you know . . . :)</p>

<p>Thanks a lot, Ian.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I do blog (that is how I have sold most of my books so far), and I use Goodreads.</p>
<p>The library is a fine suggestion, but as I teach for a living (+ have health issues), I have to do most of my promotion online (meaning when I have the energy). I am sure my local library will welcome an author event of some kind, however.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And good luck to you with your own novel!</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And my local media were not the least sceptical, they were fascinated by my Kindle - they just can´t sell a lot of my e-books because their readers/viewers don´t own e-readers.</p>

<p>Really cool guest post, Susan!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And I think a blog tour will be a great tool for me in the future so I am determined to plan the next volume of stories properly & launching them at a time when it is possible for me to spend more time on following it up.</p>

Clay, I can see that followers of my blog who REALLY want to read "Candied Crime" see my publication as the final push that makes them buy an e-reader. So I can only hope I can transform Scandinavia ;)
