At 2:30PM CT I have an interview with Felice Gerwitz at http://www.writingandpublishingradio.com/.  She is interviewing me!  :)  We'll be talking about how I got into the business, marketing essentials as well as other fun things!

 

I am bridging out.  I have been talking with Dave Guerra at Corpus Optima about assisting in securing sponsorships for his organization's many events.  I am absolutely fascinated with this aspect of the book business.

I have known for years that non-fiction authors are most sucessful when they arrange events based around the themes in their book and arrange for sponsors.  This forray into assisting this set up with Corpus Optima is a great honor and a delightful stretch to my existing tool box.  My latest publicity tip gives a couple hints to this valuable marketing tool.

I had an amazing interview with Penny Sansevieri!  It is archived on the player to at the top left of the website or you can listen to the interview at www.blogtalkradio.com/sabrinasumsion.

Penny had some amazing ideas for authors just starting their online publicity.  She named the places she suggests new authors start for social networking, the key to online marketing as well as ideas on places to post a professionally crafted press release free online.  Penny's company can assist with online publicity.  Check them out here.

I need 5 people to assist me.  I have sent the manuscript for my book -which I might be renaming -to my editor to clean up all of the typos.  What I really want are some readers to tell me which places I am skimming over information.  I am well aware that I suffer from the malady most writers have: Forgetting-to-write-details-that-are-in-my-head-itis.  There is so much information that new writers need ESPECIALLY if they are choosing to self-publish.  Who will assist me in finding my blind spots?

Here are the details:

I will send the first 5 people to contact me a copy of my manuscript to any email address you designate.

I would like you to read the manuscript and highlight sections where I am glazing over the information and leaving the reader feeling like they don't really grasp the whole concept.

After reading the whole manuscript, please return the highlighted version of the manuscript so I can add the missing details.

As a thanks, I will send you a free copy of the published book.
