Hi Angela,
First, I just wanted to thank you for your series of articles on promotion. A little bit of concentrated work really does go a long way and it’s such a boost!

I receive your newsletter and do like your views on the world of publishing. I recently received an email about an incredible way to do vanity publishing. The offer is at the bottom of the “enticement” text. I thought you may want to look at it. (URL removed)
All the best,
