Public Relations For Authors Take Hold of Your Own Promotions by Babs Hightower
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Let me say from the outset that this is a short book, but it is pithy and to the point. If you are an author (especially if you are just starting out), I can highly recommend this book to you. It is chock full of amazing ideas for promotions and more. I don’t want to give away what is in this book, but I plan to highlight a few things in passing.
I am so glad that she made recommendations that I have learned as a blogger. And I have come to appreciate these ideas as well. She explains why authors need to go and visit blog posts where there book has been reviewed (this is something that only half of the authors I work with do). She has also encouraged the authors to remind potential promoters in the professional and correct way. And the shocker has to do with how she recommends handling giveaways. I invite all authors to check out her book. And bloggers can benefit as well. It is a simple but definitive resource.
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
