First, what is a street team?
In simple terms, a street team is a group of people who will promote your work. This group of people consists of your friends, fans, followers, supporters. Who enjoys your work and would love to promote you, your work and other related events to others.
So, how do you find them, your promoters, especially when you’re new to the author’s life? Have yet to publish your writing?
First, let me say…
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
2017 comes to an end this weekend. And it has been a doozy year of epic, history making proportions. For example, #MeToo, the fires on the west Coast. The devastation of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands after hurricane Irma and Maria. Black women being responsible for voting in Doug Jones, etc.

Wow, it’s March already? I have a feeling that before I know I’ll be saying Happy 2018! Anyways, it’s IWSG day again! Where every first Wednesday of month us writers get together. Sharing our highs and lows in this winding and occasional potholed road of our writing journeys. To push each other and celebrate when we reach our goals.
