ABBREVIATED ISSUE

STEP-BY-STEP, DAILY ONLINE BOOK PROMOTION
90 DAYS OF PROMOTING YOUR BOOK ONLINE: Your Book's Daily Marketing Plan
"The owners of BookLocker.com (my favorite subsidy house) have put together a nuts and bolts guide to the various forms of online publicity. Structured like the Fern Reiss "in 30 Days" books but built around a 90 day calendar this book covers most if not all of the available bases, from an in depth coverage of the construction of an author or publisher website to pitching yourself as an "expert" to syndicated columnists. Frankly I intend to use this book a lot, maybe skipping around on the calendar but utilizing most of the strategies listed."
John Culleton, Jr., author

BOOKLOCKER.COM - RATED "OUTSTANDING" BY ATTORNEY MARK LEVINE, author of The Fine Print of Self-Publishing. He adds: "As close to perfection as you're going to find in the world of ebook and POD publishing. The ebook royalties are the highest I've ever seen, and the print royalties are better than average. BookLocker understands what new authors experience, and have put together a package that is the best in the business. You can't go wrong here. Plus, they're selective and won't publish any manuscript just because it's accompanied by a check. Also, the web site is well trafficked. If you can find a POD or epublisher with as much integrity and dedication to selling authors' books, but with lower POD publishing fees, please let me know."
