This week finds me busily trying to coordinate tasks in order to properly launch my latest book. There are so many details to handle and the timing depends on other people\u2014the publisher, the publishing staff in charge of shipping books, my web master, reviewers, etc. <\/p>\n
For those of you who are just tuning in, the book is \u201cPromote Your Book, Over 250 Proven, Low-Cost Tips and Techniques for the Enterprising Author.\u201d<\/p>\n
I have a box of books now. The book is on amazon.com. Here\u2019s the link: http:\/\/amzn.to\/oe56Ia<\/a> It won\u2019t be on Kindle until the end of the month\u2014bummer. The five-star reviews are accumulating at the book page. Be sure to stop by and read them. <\/p>\n The book isn\u2019t up at my site, yet. I\u2019ll let you know when that occurs. Hopefully this week. The book is in the hands of around two dozen key people within the publishing realm and I have a few interviews scheduled. <\/p>\n I\u2019ve been in contact with all of the contributors for this book. They all have copies and are busily posting the book at their websites, telling others about it, writing reviews and so forth. What is the general consensus? OMG, people LOVE it!<\/p>\n But I can\u2019t stop to bask in the glory\u2014there is still SO much more to do and I must wait to do a lot of it until the book is available at my website. Today, however, I will work on listing additional appropriate book reviewers and check to see if the publisher will send books to them or if I\u2019ll have to do that. I\u2019ll start contacting reviewers. I\u2019ll also submit articles to the many writing\/publishing magazines and newsletters with a bio that includes information about the new book. <\/p>\n I have some speaking engagements coming up, so I\u2019m glad to have books to show and sell.<\/p>\n What I\u2019m itching to do is contact those on my email list. I\u2019ll do so once the book is up at my site and again when the Kindle is ready. And that\u2019s also when I\u2019ll go into high gear promotion mode.<\/p>\n I just finished editing this month\u2019s SPAWNews before sending it over to the proofreader. My announcement about the book is included. This is quite a fully-packed issue with information about writing, illustrating and promoting children\u2019s books, how and where to plan and present a successful book signing, how to work with illustrators and more.
