Question

i just need to know how to pr my autobiog


Sent to General Experts December 18, 2005 1:27 a.m.

I just need to know how to pr my autobiography so I can let everyone know it is available from my website at http://dickfrancis.co.uk and http://www.lulu.com/lindacorby
I am partially disabled and do not have the funds to do this using proper pr services. It was one of my 12 year old daughter Natash's last wishes before we lost her to cancer. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you. Customer (name blocked for privacy) corbylinda@hotmail.com

The first thing you need to do is fix the links on the website http://dickfrancis.co.uk. Then you need to revamp it so it doesn't sound so bitter - professional and level-headed is what you want to portray. The other site is nice but needs some revamping of copy and the background color is too hard to read.

Next list your books online with amazon, barnes and noble, etc. if they aren't already there.

Send copies of the book to recognized experts/organizations in the field and literary critics and ask them to read and offer a comment - again, professionalism rules here!

After getting a comment or two, send out press releases to literary/book mags, papers, writers orgs, etc. Follow up. Just the fact that you have a Dick Francis web address may be newsworthy to some publication.

These are the basics. There are many things you can do to bring attention to the book and your story.

Send me a private e-mail if you are interested in getting some inexpensive help...
