| 3:14 am | VampireFaust: | @vampwriter25 The publishing industry is brutal. I often think just as bad, if not worse than the music or film industry. #teamvamp |
| 3:14 am | BlackbutterflyQ: | and hi everyone #teamvamp |
| 3:14 am | VampireFaust: | @jterzieff I don’t have an agent at the moment. I’ve done everything myself. But I have a background in marketing which helps. #teamvamp |
| 3:15 am | Beekeeper12: | Oh, that’s great! Hello @VampireFaust #teamvamp |
| 3:15 am | vampwriter25: | @Beekeeper12 Hiya :)~ #teamvamp |

| 3:16 am | jterzieff: | @VampireFaust Wow – interesting! No agent ….. but cool! so how do you handle the marketing??? #teamvamp |
| 3:17 am | A_Banana_Tweets: | Good evening… sorry I’m late! #teamvamp |
| 3:17 am | vampwriter25: | @VampireFaust Ok, so I’ve got a Q, we talked about it last week, and I’m wondering about your experience……. #teamvamp |
| 3:17 am | BlackbutterflyQ: | The reason why I asked is that the name Gabrielle Faust really is a vampire name. #teamvamp |
| 3:17 am | VampireFaust: | To all of my #twitter followers, join me in the #teamvamp chat feed! I’m answering all of your questions tonight! #teamvamp |
| 3:17 am | BlackbutterflyQ: | Thanks, glad to be here a minute. #teamvamp |
| 3:17 am | VampTeam: | @A_Banana_Tweets Hey lady! Welcome! Author Gabrielle Faust @VampireFaust is taking our questions #teamvamp |
| 3:18 am | vampwriter25: | @VampireFaust Did you choose the name of your book? Did your publisher change it? etc….? #teamvamp |
| 3:18 am | VampireFaust: | @jterzieff I approach marketing like I’m building a brand. It’s an entire identity. Like a company. #teamvamp |
| 3:18 am | vampwriter25: | @BlackbutterflyQ Is it really? Interesting… #teamvamp |
| 3:19 am | VampTeam: | For those arriving late, here is @VampireFaust ‘s website http://www.gabriellefaust.com/ #teamvamp |
| 3:19 am | VampireFaust: | @jterzieff The brand is then applied from my books across all marketing platforms from twitter to websites, etc. #teamvamp |
| 3:19 am | VampireFaust: | @vampwriter25 Yes, I chose the name of my books. I was very adamant about that. #teamvamp |
| 3:19 am | jterzieff: | @VampireFaust Interesting — so do you look at it as building Gabrielle as a brand; or Eternal Vigilance; or both? #teamvamp |
| 3:20 am | vampwriter25: | @VampireFaust Ahh… so there is hope! Hahha, that’s my nightmare, I’m very *attached* to my title… hah #teamvamp |
| 3:20 am | VampireFaust: | @jterieff Both really. I am my work. My work is my identity. But the marketing has to be consistent so that people recognize it. #teamvamp |
| 3:21 am | Beekeeper12: | @VampireFaust That’s actually very clever, make ur own name a complete brand..It’s exactly that, ur own name as a company itself. #teamvamp |
| 3:21 am | VampireFaust: | @jterzieff I was in advertising for 10 years as an art director. So I approached my book marketing like I was branding a start-up. #teamvamp |
| 3:21 am | VampireFaust: | @jterieff For me it makes it easier to manage all of the many social media outlets we have to maintain these days. #teamvamp |
| 3:22 am | NickCato: | Do you find it hard/tiring writing several novels with the same characters? #teamvamp |
| 3:22 am | VampTeam: | @VampireFaust For those who don’t have the marketing background – what tips would you give new writers? #teamvamp |
| 3:22 am | VampireFaust: | @Beekeeper12 Exactly. Then, later down the line it’s applied to merchandise, comic books, etc. when that happens. #teamvamp |
| 3:23 am | VampireFaust: | @NickCato Actually no. I love working on multiple novels w/ the same characters because I can explore them on a deeper level. #teamvamp |
| 3:23 am | VampireFaust: | @NickCato However, at times they do start to drive me crazy. Like insane family members you know a little too well. 😉 #teamvamp |
| 3:24 am | NickCato: | hehe–gotcha #teamvamp |
| 3:24 am | Beekeeper12: | @VampireFaust Yes, that’s what I thought! So there’s a whole market starting from the books. #teamvamp |
| 3:24 am | VampireFaust: | @VampTeam I would advise all new writers to take a course in marketing at your local community college & buy books on it. #teamvamp |
| 3:25 am | BlackbutterflyQ: | What formats are your books available in? #teamvamp |
| 3:25 am | VampTeam: | RT @VampireFaust: @VampTeam I would advise all new writers to take a course in marketing at your local community college & buy books on it. #teamvamp |
| 3:25 am | VampireFaust: | @VampTeam Publishers expect authors to do MOST of the work these days. You’re pretty much on your own. #teamvamp |

| 3:26 am | VampTeam: | @VampireFaust Whic outlets have been most successful for you? Twitter? Facebook? Blog? In person appearances? #teamvamp |
| 3:27 am | VampireFaust: | @VampTeam Twitter has been ah-mazing. So has facebook. But it has been my own site I think that has been the best outlet. #teamvamp |
| 3:27 am | Beekeeper12: | Eternal Vigilance has 4.5 stars (amazon.com) Wow, impressive. #teamvamp |
