My author's copies of Watery Ways have finally arrived! I think they look, feel and smell great, so it's a real thrill to have them. Now for the work. I will need to start spreading myself around - so to speak - well, at least my book!
First call will be to the Maritime Museum bookshop to ask them if they would like to do a little book launch for me on their premises. After that, I will be sending copies to the local TV station, the local paper and the local radio stations. My market is limited here, so wish me luck!
Well done Val - that's great news - good luck with the marketing ..

ReplyDeleteHow about the mags in UK eg Towpath Telegraph; Canal Boat; Waterways World. They all review books. Also RBOA (Residential Boat Owners Assoc) reviews books in its members' mag. IWA (Inland Waterways Assoc) may also be worth a try.
ReplyDeleteDale, I know exactly what you mean :)
ReplyDeleteAnne, thanks so much for the advice. I've had a review in the RBOA already (first time round), but I'll definitely try the others. Hope to see you soooooon xxx
