It's also my chance to pass on my love of certain genres - swashbucklers, for instance - on to new readers who will hopefully look for other works in that same genre.(less)

When doing research, message boards, fan forums, and re-enactment societies are great places to go to get specific research questions answered. The people who are members of these groups are passionate about their subject matter, and if they can't help you directly, they might be able to steer you toward people or resources that can. Plus, it's a great way to build audience awareness of your book.

Most importantly, be appreciative of people who help you with your book, even if it's a minor little thing, and don't take other people's help for granted.(less)
