Today the editor of the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA) newsletter is calling me to discuss how to use my new book to create a useful article. Monday, I am being interviewed by phone for a blog. Last night I received five partial manuscripts to evaluate for participants in the Alaska Writers Conference in Anchorage where I\u2019m keynote speaker next month. <\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow, I\u2019m headed over to Tehachapi, CA for a book festival. I\u2019ll be speaking to a group at 1:15. Thursday, I\u2019m speaking in Glendale and later this month, I\u2019ll be joining a colleague in presenting a workshop in Thousand Oaks, California.<\/p>\n<p>With my promotional efforts and connections combined with those of the publisher (Allworth Press), I am getting busier and busier.<\/p>\n<p>Have you checked out my new books, yet? It is getting lots of buzz\u20149 five-star reviews at Amazon!! Mark Levine, author of \u201cThe Fine Print of Self-Publishing,\u201d emailed me yesterday, after receiving his copy, and said, \u201cI love it!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>If you want to know how to create buzz for your book when it comes out, you really must read my book, <em><strong>Promote Your Book, Over 250 Proven, Low-Cost Tips and Techniques for the Enterprising Author<\/strong><\/em>. <a href=http:\/\/amzn.to\/oe56Ia> http:\/\/amzn.to\/oe56Ia<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>When should you read a good book on book promotion? This book is designed to start absorbing before you even write your book because it has ideas in there for making your book more salable\u2014more appealing to your audience\u2014while you are in the writing process. <\/p>\n<p>However, if you are already writing the book or you have finished the writing, NOW is an excellent time for you to stop the forward motion and read this book! Before you get involved in publishing, you really do need to understand the world of book promotion because that is going to be your life for as long as you want your book to sell. And this is true whether you self-publish (establish your own publishing company), go with a pay-to-publish company or land a traditional publisher.<\/p>\n<p>The author is responsible for promoting his or her book!!!! And the earlier you start studying what promotion entails in this highly competitive bookselling climate, the more successful you will become with your book.<\/p>\n<p>Order your copy TODAY at <a href=http:\/\/amzn.to\/oe56Ia> http:\/\/amzn.to\/oe56Ia<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Learn more about me and my work here:<br \/>\n<a href=http:\/\/www.patriciafry.com> http:\/\/www.patriciafry.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com> http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I feel like a juggler this week\u2014trying to manage all of the requested interviews and invitations to speak and sending out review copies while keeping up with my regular commitments.
