Hiatus Promo/Marketing ideas?

[justanothernerdling]

Hey hey!

So I have to go on a short-ish hiatus because Life Reasons (don't we love those?)
I was wondering if you had any good/fun marketing/promo ideas for while a novel is on hiatus? I do draw, so that's absolutely on the table.

If you're interested in a cozy fantasy read, with university, fae, and dream magic, this is the perfect time to catch up on A Crownes Game!

maybe post old versions or first drafts?

Or even fun blurbs that didn't make the original cut!

You could try to make an advert for your novel featuring your favorite comments.

And you can have style in it too

Ooh, if you have sketches, character sheets, or references, those are fun for us long-time readers. Q&A sessions / "Ask Me Anythings" are a good option, too. If you have bandwidth to draw, you might try doing art trades with people you subscribe to (you draw one of their characters, they draw one of yours). Wishing you luck with life things!

I actually have that as a side novella thing! Thanks though!

[justanothernerdling]

Thanks for the luck wishes! And thanks always for reading!
I can try those! I've tried in the past and they usually fell flat, unfortunately, but I can try again!

What, like on the site or other platforms?

[justanothernerdling]

Either! How to get people interested in my novel while I can't upload new chapters for a few weeks

That's my rubik cube as well. Dk, I usually either post on this forum or instagram sometimes, maybe discord servers.
I can't tell you which works though
