I would like to contact book review writers about reviewing one or more of my ebook titles. I am willing to pay a fee for honest reviews, positive or negative, that are posted in magazines, blogs, or other places, to call attention to my titles…
I gave up, and finally visited a “sports medicine” doctor in town. Despite the fact that the Jet Ski wasn’t even turned on, much less moving, when I fell off, they still let me come in. I have an MRI scheduled for this week. I’m still pretty bummed that I couldn’t go kite surfing on Mother’s Day but our beach vacation was wonderful, and so very relaxing! As promised, here are some pictures…
POD Publishers that use Ingram’s printing division to print their books incur an annual fee, which is charged by Ingram for each title/ISBN. Ingram calls this their “Catalog Fee.” It provides: “Access to our worldwide distribution channels (the largest portfolio of wholesalers, distributors and booksellers worldwide).” Basically, this means they send out an automated feed to bookstores that includes all the available titles. It typically costs publishers $12 per year to keep a book in Ingram’s system…
Angela,

Cheers,

There is a way to effectively market yourself as a writer for free, and promote your services to thousands of people, all with only a few minutes work per day. Of course, I’m talking about comment marketing.

An old friend contacted me out of the blue via email to see if I would write a press release for an event she was planning. I followed the link she sent, and learned she was now on the board of a well-known non-profit that hosted two big fundraising events each year. But, I also noticed there was no social media activity associated with these events…
I am on vacation, lying a beach, and reading one of the many books I purchased from Haslam’s, Florida’s largest new and used bookstore. Ah… Heaven!!!
Will post some pictures next week! 🙂

Congratulations on making the decision to write your book. But if you are like me, you really don’t know where to begin. I remember getting frustrated, a little angry, and then just plain stuck. If that’s happened to you, then here are two simple first steps that you should consider to get unstuck and get your book written…
