Shel Horowitz’s Book Marketing Tip of the Month, March ’08, Is Posted for You
Here are all the URLs for this issue. Ah, how I miss the days when e-mail actually worked.
I FORGOT TO PUT THIS ONE IN THE E-MAIL VERSION: If you’d like to save money on PMA-U (formerly known as Publishers Marketing Association University), register in March to save over $100 on the early bird rate. And use this link and code to take an extra $50 off the price. This seminar immediately preceding Book Expo America (May 27-29) is a powerful learning experience for independent publishers. I’m not teaching this year but I will be attending (the Wednesday advanced track) and taking plenty of notes. Class descriptions at http://www.pma-online.org/pmau/2008/template.aspx.

–> A No-Cost Way to Connect with Reports Seeking Stories
My friend Peter Shankman, a very well-connected PR guy in NYC, has started a no-charge service called Help A Reporter Out. He sends queries from reporters a few times a day, and if there’s a good fit, you answer the journalist. And he gets some leads that never make it to Profnet/PR Leads. This should be a no-brainer. If you get one good lead in a year, it’s worth it. He has passed on leads from the NY Times and Washington Post, as well as lesser venues. Sign up at www.helpareporter.com
