Editorial Reviews

Review

Karen Wiesner has done the publishing world an immense favor and gone through a massive effort to construct this resource. The great thing about Electronic Publishing is that you can buy it [in electronic format] and have instant access to sites listed-saving the time and aggravation of typing addresses into your computer. ...The book is written in a clear question and answer format. ...lists a variety of unexpected ways to promote your e-book, including the contributions of successful e-book authors and promoters. ...If you're serious about participating (or learning about) the e-book world, this is the most comprehensive resource I've come across since I've been doing business on-line. And I'm digging for everything I can find on this new format for producing and selling books. -- Dan Seidman, Editor, SPANworks

Contains low-cost promotional ideas worthy of perusal by both electronic and traditional authors, such as Internet interviews, live chats, exchanging banner ads, issuing on-line press releases, organizing contests and special events, e-serials, promotional bookmarks; and other ideas so unique the chapter could potentially be worth its weight in gold... If you're thinking seriously about learning more about e-publishing, most of the legwork is done for you here. -- The Writer Magazine

GOOD JOB! What a resource! This book should truly be on every writer's bookshelf...at least those that are serious about writing and publishing. -- author Deborah Bouziden

This review is from: Weave Your Web: The Promotional Companion, 2003 Ed., (Paperback)

This is a great resource for both publishers and authors. There are endless suggestions that have proven beneficial to me. I went from being a print publisher of sixteen years to publishing some of my titles electronically. This book saved me a lot of time and her ideas stimulated my own creativity as far as promoting effectively. The book is inspiring and the enthusiasm of the author proves to be contageous.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penny, March 18, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Weave Your Web: The Promotional Companion, 2003 Ed., (Paperback)

"...this is the book for writers, particularly those
interested in publishing an e-book, or who already have. ... This book is worth every penny. ...I, intrepid promoter, am paid to write a column on book promotion. There was nothing I could learn. I knew all the tricks! Ha. I went from her book directly to my Writing To Do list and frantically updated it. In two minutes of reading I had gotten over a dozen new ideas."
