<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My first novel is being released next month. I’m trying to find a couple things and thought I’d check here.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For the launch party on facebook, I’m giving away prizes. I’ve bought some magnets customized with the novel’s name in braille, and bookmarks the same. I found a place to order some mugs or wine glasses with customized braille. Does anyone
know of a place where I could order braille business cards? And maybe a place to buy braille candy bars and or jewelry. Even though I know of a lot of sighted people who will be ordering and reading my book, as the main female lead is blind and reads braille,
I’m trying to find as many options for braille on giveaways as possible.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Secondly, in everything I read for self-published authors and marketing, a web site with email list and newsletter is number one. I have a blog, but it’s personal. I’d like to have a separate site for my author web stuff. Even with my blog,
I don’t have a clue how to send out a newsletter. Does anyone know someone I could hire to set up and maintain a web site? Any ideas where to look for such a thing? I want it both accessible and visually appealing.

<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you all!<o:p></o:p></p>
