Book Publicity
May. 6th, 2009 12:45 pm...is moving right along. I got a call from Pageantry Magazine this morning that I returned, but my contact is out for the day, so I'll have to call him tomorrow if he doesn't call back first. Meanwhile, I have a press release to write and distribute to local and national media.
It feels weird having to do this all myself. It's a lot of hard work being quasi-self-published. Sometimes I wish I'd been picked up by a "traditional" publisher so they could do all the publicity for me. On the other hand, I have control over the whole process. So there are tradeoffs.
Froggy's honeymoon was a combination honeymoon/book tour. For me, it will be either-or. If I'm going on a honeymoon, I want to pay attention to my husband, dammit.
Speaking of marriage, the governor of Maine just signed a bill recognizing same-sex marriage. Yay! Soon all of New England will recognize it. I hope California will overturn the hateful Prop. 8.
There is a move afoot to strip Carrie Prejean, Miss California USA, of her title because she is using the title to further her personal agenda rather than representing her state. The Miss California USA organizers are considering this very carefully. I read an interview with one of the directors, and it was rather vague. I want to write an e-mail to the Miss Universe and Miss CA USA organizations.
