Most writers do it for the love of the craft, and others pursue a monetary outcome. Whichever of these is your swim lane, we can all agree on how challenging writing can be and accept that as part of the game, and for the most parts, writing can be done with no or little outside contacts.
Publishing however is an entirely different kettle of fish, and many authors may not have the tools and be equipped to navigate these waters. So, depending on whether you are doing traditional publishing or self-publishing, consider for a second all the people and entities you could end up dealing with.
Reviewers, editors, publishers, literary agents, booksellers, wholesalers, cover designers, publicists, translators, rights lawyers.
For example, if you are trying to get someone to review or edit your book, the chances are that you could end reaching out to as many as 50 people, and how do you juggle all of this. Chances are that you could be still using the good old fashioned spreadsheet, doc or contacts. At some point, you will forget the status of many of these engagements and major opportunities could slip through the crack.
Just one contact could mean the world of difference. Don’t let that happen.
We all need a command centre to keep a semblance of order. An authors CRM contains categorised contacts linked to your various milestones with reminders and status cards. That simple capability gives you control and visibility.
Bring some sanity into your life and win back some time for the important parts, not wasting time on admin.
