HEY - I sent this out as an email earlier this week, so if you got that email you can safely ignore this, but just in case some folks aren't on the mailing list:
All right, folks -
It's about a month until WANGP is released. I have all my implements, so now I need a check in to hear who wants stuff. Everyone who helps out will get a T-shirt and a signed book, of course, and additionally I have bookmarks and stickers. SO, some things that could be done are
- putting bookmarks in bookstores at giveaway locations or on the shelves near the SF/F sections
- putting stickers wherever stickers are appropriate (please don't deface public property as they'll contact me about it)
- giving away bookmarks/stickers to anyone even vaguely interested
- chatting up the book on Internet forums and social media (even a few tweets are helpful)
- reviewing the book on Goodreads, Amazon, B&N, anywhere, even obscure forums
- Asking your local store to stock the book (don't promise to buy a copy if you're not going to)
- suggesting people interview me for their blogs or podcasts
- running an extract on your own site (I'll happily provide a digital file)
and anything else you can think of. The more the merrier, and if I can offer up anything to assist, feel free to ask. I can also supply graphics and stuff like banners, avatars, etc if you want them (there's already a page of graphics on the forum [which is wearenotgoodpeople.freeforums.net/] but I'll whip up anything people need if you send me specs.
And please know I totally appreciate the help. Launching a book is always a nerve-wracking project, and know that I will officially owe y'all one. I'm also totally open to ideas, so feel free to suggest anything.
SO, now's the time: Send me your address and let me know what I can send you. I'm happy to send you 5 bookmarks or 500. And if you haven't sent me a T-shirt size yet, now's the time!
Best
Jeff
