How to get authors to notice your review blog.

I really don't have a clue except one: Be yourself and believe that because you are another outlet to readers that they won't dismiss you. You may get a few that really don't have the time to set aside to have a chat with you. and that is okay. If you can make an appointment. Or better yet, have an arranged phone conversation where you just write down the answers. Or if your a people person who hates typing, and its easier for you to have a personal conversation then to email back and forth. I find it easier to have a IM conversation with them, or if they are really busy. Email then with a list of questions and ask them to have them back to you with at least 10 questions answered. (Remember to send a list of at least 20 so they have a pick of what they want to answer.)It's really as simple as that. And also dont forget to mail thank you notes to them. I know snail mail. But some times is nice to get a letter in the mail instead of bills and junk mail. I know I like it better so why not them too. So I am off to email ever author I know to get an interview for the rest of the year. AT this point in our new review blog we need to get traffic flowing there. Come and visit us at www.naughtyeditions.com you may like what you see. And please leave a comment, even if its is how to improve the site.

Thanks,

Victoria Laurie a smart marketing or just a bad person?

Well the many times I see people behaving badly its been by someone with no regard for other people. And most times for people in the limelight its really bad. AKA Mel Gibson. Or most recently take Victoria Laurie. She evidently can't take criticism well and has to be juvenile about it. Or did she? I believe it's a careful plot to raise her sales and get a bigger or different kind of fan base. Laurell K Hamilton did it. And she is still turning out books that people will stand in line for hours upon hours to get. I am not going to go all into how evil she is or how not to act like a pompous bitch, but i will say with becoming a celebrity (kinda) there comes a responsibility.

As a customer I know that I will never buy any of her books I don't care if someone As a bookseller even if someone pays me three times the cost of the book, I will not order or have it in my store because of her and her behavior.

For a good back ground on this incident (if you care) go to Dear Author she had all the scoop.
