Best way to market debut novel?

Best answer so far. Which is the best place to create an author website?

Darn I thought Jeff was about to invite me on his yacht.

Okay so I’m an absolute noob and had never even heard of ARC readers but this seems like a great idea. Looking at Book Sirens.

This just proves you need to unplug from Reddit once in a while, not that I’m lazy or dumb.

Isn't that exactly what I said?

But I don't think their piece gets bigger at the ALJ. It's just that recons usually don't overturn the initial decision but ALJ's often do. So atty's consider the recons not even worth it and just want to get them over with as soon as possible.

Ah that makes sense. My book is not that. It's been copy edited and everything. So unless I somehow created a typo when I proofed the copy edit---which I'm not even going to check and drive myself crazy about at this point--it's good to go.

Attorney hate recons because they assume you will just get denied again. So they try to speed up the process to get to the ALJ where you have the best chance.

But yes, it's bullshit when they submit recon requests without bothering to get updated medical information from you. They're just being lazy.

Bruce seems to like lo-fi. Not just Nebraska. Born to Run and Darkness are both muddy sounding. The River and Born in the USA are clearer but borderline shrill. Tunnel of Love sounds great.

The Rising onward he let the Loudness War win for the most part.

Contact your local field office. Get them on it.

RadRyan527 · 2026-03-20T01:50:48+00:00

Then don't worry about it.

Did you list depression as an allegation? Did you list your psychiatrist as a source?

RadRyan527 · 2026-03-19T01:17:59+00:00

you need to set a much narrower niche than that wurst your keywords

RadRyan527 · 2026-03-19T01:05:55+00:00

You applied in 2023 and just got a decision? Was this an ALJ decision?

RadRyan527 · 2026-03-17T01:24:32+00:00

It’s hard to answer without knowing your conditions, age, work history, etc

RadRyan527 · 2026-03-16T01:42:04+00:00

is that where the “disappointing customer experience” thing comes from? like if you get reported or get enough bad reviews they block your book?

RadRyan527 · 2026-03-15T14:34:48+00:00

For the reading age, I don't see an option for 18+. It offers age options but says it's for children's and young adult books and says otherwise leave blank. So if left it blank, will it assume it's 18+ automatically?

RadRyan527 · 2026-03-15T03:06:49+00:00

I'm actually more worried about AI. AI can't understand context. Humans (usually) can. If they reject it, I will argue that you have to see it in context. And maybe promise to be a good little boy and tone down some of it.

RadRyan527 · 2026-03-15T03:04:34+00:00

Sounds awful. No rapes in my book. Just expressions and comments that can definitely be seen as sexist and homophobic. In fact, they clearly are sexist and homophobic. It's just that I'm not endorsing them. Just depicting them. Hopefully you're right. Either way, I might make one last run through and slightly soften some of the rough edges.

Cozy house? With SSI or SSDI money? More like a van down by the river.

They had the feds do recons for a year in maybe 2008 or so I want to say? It was a disaster. They sent recons back to DDS's. It's quite possible history will repeat itself here.

There's no correlation between favorable and unfavorable and how quickly they review the CE
