I have found sometimes that works effectively when pitching the media. I also like the part about leveraging relationships. In the end, most people will do business with you because they like you. It is really important to have some sort of system for tracking who the decision makers are at the library for buying books.

Thu, 22 Jan 2009 07:52:50 +0000 http://asteriusonline.com/diary/?p=742#comment-327 This is one of the most interesting things I've read in a long while. I'm so bipolar about vanity presses such as lulu.com, yet, the thought of putting my own book out and arranging my own tour seems so...right. A big middle finger to a system that might not otherwise sign you. I'm not sure where I was going with that, but I think I need to say once again, that I really enjoyed reading that.
