What Do Book Publicists Do?
Stranger: So what do you do?
Publicist on Demand: I work in a book publishing house.
Stranger (with a knowing smile): You’re an editor! How exciting!
Publicist on Demand: Uh. No. I’m a book publicist.
Stranger (with a perplexed look): A wha?
Publicist on Demand: You know how you read about book reviews in the newspaper or see author interviews on the television? Well that’s my job.
Stranger (looking disenchanted): Oh.
Why Online Book Marketing?
WHY NOT?
Is PoD a pun for Print-on-Demand?
Yes, you clever thing, it is.
Are Publicists really ON DEMAND?
Damn straight we are but with the way things are going, publicists (especially book publicists) will need to learn how to take advantage of the internet for their own nefarious purposes. Hence this blog.
My publishing house/author/publicity team did something really fantastic. Can you blog about it?
Sure! We love to hear what folks in the industry are doing. Send an email to publicistondemand at gmail dot com.
I have the newest thing that could really help book publicists and authors do their job. Can you review it?
We’re intrigued. Send an email to publicistondemand at gmail dot com.
