I have read other publicity and marketing books that were somewhat helpful but this book absolutely blew them out of the water. I went through it slowly because there were so many notes to take. I'm an industry insider and still I found myself learning some new tidbit on every page. After reading Publicize Your Book, I feel confident in my abilities to take an active and effective role in getting my soon-to-be releaesed debut notices.
There were tons of very practical information. Reading ... Read More

I have mixed feelings about this book. Publicize Your Book! does provide a nice overview of the publication process that will be helpful for first time authors.

I bought this book to see if there were things that i could be doing differently. I am a self-published author that always looks for other ways to get my work noticed. As much as I enjoyed reading this, I often felt like things were padded. I want the facts and channels I need to go through, for me, this just was not the one.
