[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Kyle, since your book is being printed by Krause Books, a responsible publisher, and from what I see is about guns in the home -- a very saleable subject among gun enthusiasts-- Krause already would have several mailing lists to which they would promote your book... The gun list would come, if available at any price, from the National Riflemen's Association, plus all the gun magazines and hunting magazines you can find on the Internet... The other list would include every daily and weekly newspaper in the United States, which might be available from Editor & Publisher, the trade magazine for newspapers... All of these lists have already been compiled and to build these lists is a major undertaking for you but they generally are for sale...The owners of these lists normally do not make the lists available to you; they do the mailings themselves to control the names and addresses... You would send free copies of the book only to the major [big circulation] publications; the others would get just a press release... regards, bob cole On Apr 4, 2007, at 1:41 PM, Kyle Cassidy wrote: > Hey Kids, > I haven't been talking about this much lately, but Armed America > (www.armedamerica.org) went to the _printers_ last Friday -- out of my > hands and the capable hands of my editor.
