[stylist] The podcast about the book, by the theripist

Tue Feb 17 03:53:21 UTC 2009

James, You pegged part of what could be a probolem.  If the publisher sends 
the author on a book tour, obviously their expenses are paid.  Most new 
authors don't have the money to cover those expenses.  However, they can get 
contact sheets and do a lot of interviews over the phone.  As the 
circulation of the book rises, the publisher might realize that they have a 
winner and  put the author on a book tour financed by the publisher.  Also, 
the author can arrange book signings in areas closer to their home.  As for 
press releases, I can also write them in my sleep.  Judith
