Hey, what has she got that I haven't? Oh, lots of adverbs, magic, Hogwarts, and of course ALL those fabulous characters. <br /><br />Books for Kids - Manuscript Critiques<br />http://www.margotfinke.comMagic Carpet of 16x Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13145090220955463862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4769477766815690361.post-82394847237453461012010-08-06T07:04:18.839-07:002010-08-06T07:04:18.839-07:00Margot, you have certainly been doing all the righ...Margot, you have certainly been doing all the right things. Part of what makes a book successful is word of mouth. People buy them, enjoy them and tell others, who do the same and they buy them for gifts. It's hard to get the ball rolling, but hopefully it will soon with Ruthie and you'll be making more sales. The economy has really slowed down people's spending, and I keep hoping, as everyone does, that it will improve.Connie Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06264510809220669622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4769477766815690361.post-80138064599368656682010-08-03T12:39:09.182-07:002010-08-03T12:39:09.182-07:00Yes Janet, I have done that - I mentioned it in th...Yes Janet, I have done that - I mentioned it in the blog. Not the ZOO though. Our Zoo never responds to letters or e-mails, and they never return my phone calls. I have sent them Press Releases before - zip!! <br /><br />Jill, I wasn't so much looking for new ideas, as i was commenting on how little return I got for all the work I put into this promotion. I offered 2 free books + authgraphed copies in THIS post, and all I got was comments form you two wonderful ladies.<br /><br />I am deluged with promo e=mails and promo blogs every day in my IN box. I guess there is just too much of it coming into our collective mail boxes and people just delete without really reading the stuff.<br /><br />So much for promoting books via blogs and writing lists.<br /><br />I rhank you both for reading my post and taking the time to reply.<br /><br />Margot Finke<br />http://www.margotfinke.comMagic Carpet of 16x Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13145090220955463862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4769477766815690361.post-3770079397704188572010-08-01T17:36:17.354-07:002010-08-01T17:36:17.354-07:00Margot if you come up with some ideas will you pos...Margot if you come up with some ideas will you post them?
