I\u2019m getting a lot of response to my survey (see February 17, 2010 post) from SPAWN members. That\u2019s Small Publishers, Artists and Writers Network http:\/\/www.spawn.org<\/a>. But very very few from those of you who read this blog. So it occurred to me that maybe most of my blog visitors are not published authors who are promoting books. <\/p>\n

Perhaps you could help me to more accurately target my blog posts to the right audience by letting me know where you are within the huge, competitive, daunting process of publishing. If you love some of my blog posts\u2014they just resonate with you like crazy\u2014but some of them do not relate, help me to help you in a more meaningful way. Please fill out the questionnaire below and return it to me at PLFry620@yahoo.com. <\/p>\n

1: Where are you in the publishing process? <\/p>\n

\u2022\tAre you thinking about writing a book?
\n\u2022\tAre you in the process of writing a book for publication?
\n\u2022\tAre you attempting to find a publisher or trying to choose a publishing option?
\n\u2022\tAre you working with a publisher, agent or publishing service now?
\n\u2022\tDo you have a published book and you don\u2019t know what to do now?<\/p>\n

2: What are your greatest concerns with regard to your publishing\/writing project at this time?<\/p>\n

3: What subjects are most important to you at this time? What do you want to see me cover in my blog?<\/p>\n

4: Do you have a copy of any of my books? Which ones?<\/p>\n

I look forward to discovering how I can best serve you through this blog.
