I'm really proud of the book – I spent a lot of time writing and revising my work so it was good as it could be, then Kate did a very thorough edit. I think the cover is very strong and the map is gorgeous so both of those helped too.In terms of marketing, I started <a href="http://parsantium.wordpress.com/blog/" target="_blank">a blog about the book</a> as I was writing it and continued with it as we went through the publishing process, previewing the cover and interior art, publishing excerpts and asking for comments. I also talked about the book on social media and on ENWorld, Paizo.com, The Piazza and other forums to build awareness. This meant that when it finally came out, there were a group of people who were already interested in checking it out. I continued writing blog posts after the book was published – some of these had extra content like <a href="http://parsantium.wordpress.com/the-city/13th-age-icons/" target="_blank">icons for 13th Age</a> or <a href="http://parsantium.wordpress.com/2014/12/29/5e-vanara/" target="_blank">write ups of character races for 5e</a>. Others included updates on sales, reviews, and posts asking for feedback on what people wanted to see next in terms of follow up products. I've tried to answer all the comment and questions I've had and have really enjoyed hearing about the games people are running using Parsantium. I already mentioned including Parsantium in site-wide sales and promotions on drivethrurpg.com and Paizo. OBS also give you publisher promotion points each month, based on sales the previous month, and you can spend these to promote your title on the front page or to send emails to people that have bought your products. I made good use of these to promote the book when it was discounted and this also helped boost sales numbers.CheersRich</blockquote>
