They are well accustomed to interact with readers and writers.Adelaide Duponthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01490123934889071074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894514913516471357.post-3288287255312546112010-09-30T01:55:51.368-07:002010-09-30T01:55:51.368-07:00Thanks all around.

If you want it to be seen all over, I'd go the Doug Bremner, Bob Fiddaman routes. Bremner used Authonomy (can't remember if Bob did) and Bob has his on Kindle awaiting final edit for paperback.<br /><br />The key to marketing anything is to ask this question: <br /><br />does it fit a need?<br /><br />If you think it does, then market it...same as pharma does! marketing tactics is how things are sold, it comes down to that.soulful sepulcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12271584927611299868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894514913516471357.post-39712045148780842312010-09-28T10:34:22.871-07:002010-09-28T10:34:22.871-07:00Hi, I tried to post yesterday, but I don't thi...Hi, I tried to post yesterday, but I don't think my comment went through. I have a friend who is working on a book and has a publisher, a big one. I think she got an agent. That would be my recommendation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
