This week, we’re gonna drum up some free advertising in ezines, blogs, websites and maybe even some magazines.
If you can’t/won’t spend money to place ads in magazines, ezines, blogs and websites, you might still be able to get them to mention your book. How? By offering them free content to publish.
Remember the book excerpts we formatted during Week II? Well, let’s see if we can get those published in some periodicals that are already serving your book’s target audience…

Book Reviews
I’m continuing to do research on publishing companies and associated problems. I came upon the subject of Kirkus Reviews. I didn’t find a reference to them on your website, so I’m asking you about them. Is a Kirkus Review worth anything? From what I understand, the author pays for the review and if he doesn’t like it, the review doesn’t get posted, but he’s still out the money. Even if their review is positive, does it have any value? Thanks for you time.

One day last week, I was thinking to myself, “Wow, we haven’t needed to go to the doctor’s office in such a long time!”
I don’t know about you but every time I think something like that, whether I knock on wood or not, that “something” ends up happening, usually within a day or two. I think it’s part Mother’s Intuition and part Murphy’s Law. Anyway, the next day, Ali was complaining about a sore in her throat that had been there for more than a week.

One of the most satisfying moments in a new writer’s life occurs when a book-length manuscript is finished. This is usually followed by a moment of tension, perhaps bordering on horror, as the writer ponders about how to get it published.

If a publisher wants 1000 words can it be 10 or 20 either way? Getting exactly 1000 or 1500 without going over or under is almost impossible. Or is it? This might seem trivial but I really want to know.
Thank you for your time.
