Marketing Tips Around The Net: March 4th
Well, it's Friday and our trip around the net is back with a list of interesting posts that have caught my eye this week. I am sitting in my hometown Starbucks with a tall Italian Roast to keep me going. Pour your favorite beverage and settle in for some great reads by some great people.
But before we get to this week's list, I have a quick announcement for our North Texas readers. On Saturday, March 26th, I will be co-presenting a workshop with publisher, former ABC radio host and author Kat Smith called, How To Market Your Book And You. This event is sponsored by the Writer's Guild of Texas and will be held at the Richardson Civic Center in Richardson, TX. For more information, including how to secure your tickets to this event, please visit the event's homepage on the WGT site.
