As if in cosmic reward for making any kind of comment regarding this issue, I am now ready to add another thread to the self-promotion offer pile. I’m going to go over to the Deals section right now and announce my latest ebook. It’s not free, but it’s only a $1.99, so I consider that a deal. If the Deals board was categorized as Worldwalker suggests, I would have placed it in the Book Deals sub-forum instead.
I will not put anything about it in the Writer’s Corner because I don’t participate enough in give and take with other writers here to justify that action. I also won’t start any threads in the Recommendations section because I feel that should be left to a reader not the writer. If there was a Self-Promotion board, I would also put it there, but it doesn’t yet exist.
This was not meant as an attempt to place an advertisement here in the feedback section, but only as a demonstration of my personal thought process for promoting my book. I admit that I sometimes use MR for this selfish purpose, but I also believe that's why the Deals section was created.
I hope this helps in any considerations toward adjusting the boards.
