Writing A Book: Anyone Know A Good Publicity Hound?

by Dave on April 29, 2009

So if I hadn’t mentioned it yet (you can see my “About” page), I’ve been writing a book.  It’s a guide to navigating the ups and downs of starting a company, and while I can speak at great lengths about that topic, unfortunately, I’m still learning what it takes to publish a book.

I’m pleased to say I’m almost there.  Keyword: almost.

It’s come time to hire a publicist to really get this baby rolling.  Someone who knows book critics, who knows the morning shows, who knows the places to get the word out about my book – and to get that book past all the hundreds of other business books published every year and into the hands of aspiring and current entrepreneurs

I of course want to give free copies of the book to reviewers.  But maybe that’s not a good idea.

I want to get my book into the hands of the media.  But the story has to be fresh.

I tweetIs that enough?

Let me hear your bedtime story on book publicists.  Point me in the right direction.
