Celine Keating shared Fiona Robyn's blog post on Facebook
Celine Keating commented on the blog post 'Yesterday - a best-seller. Today - a nobody.'
"Please keep us up to date -- fingers crossed that, thanks to your innovative approach and many people read your work, they'll spread the word."
Celine Keating commented on the blog post 'Yesterday - a best-seller. Today - a nobody.'
"Wow - this is an astonishing story. Congratulations on a great strategy !
One small thing - the sentence "The book me & Kaspa started a publishing company to publish" has a grammatical error, if not too late to correct. It should…"
Celine Keating commented on the blog post 'Two HYPER-LOCAL Ideas for Your Book Promotion Tool Kit'
"I did it almost as a goof (like, Mom says daughter's book is fabulous!) but they took it seriously. We did fill the space with the entire (tiny) town, so the photo looked great, too. Thanks re the hair! But I think your idea is brilliant, and…"
Celine Keating commented on the blog post 'Two HYPER-LOCAL Ideas for Your Book Promotion Tool Kit'
"Love these ideas! I'm going to try out the hairstylist one...though I have to find a stylist first! As almost an afterthought I did a mailing just as you suggest, a follow up to a reading for my debut (Layla), and included a quote from the…"
Celine Keating commented on the group 'Small Publishers and Independent Authors'
"Hey, just figure you gave them good stories to tell, and they're probably thrilled someone was so enamored of their work! Meantime, your blog/writing is really lovely - a pleasure dipping in to it. Impressive that you work on the farm and…"
Celine Keating commented on the group 'Small Publishers and Independent Authors'
"Emily, just wanted to jump here b/c your comment about your "stalking" made me laugh. Life on a farm sounds so exotic, that I hope you're writing a blog about that - or at least some poems! "
Celine Keating commented on the group 'Small Publishers and Independent Authors'
"Thanks, Carolyn! and Shawn, it's hard to calibrate, isn't it? For fun I've tried to figure out if my sales or web visits have gone up after reviews or guest blog appearances or readings, but it's never so clear cut."
Celine Keating commented on the group 'Small Publishers and Independent Authors'
"Hi Carolyn,
It strikes me as a welcome thing that Kirkus actually provides this opportunity - I'm wondering, do the reviews differentiate between the paid and unpaid? In other words, to the industry would it be clear? Also, are only ARCs…"
Celine Keating commented on the group 'Small Publishers and Independent Authors'
"Zetta - that's just awesome! Congratulations!"
Celine Keating commented on the group 'Small Publishers and Independent Authors'
"Shawn - thanks for the response; I'll head over to your site and check out the info. Much appreciated.
And Karma, thanks for saving me $$. My ARCs went out too late for Kirkus (long story) and I might have been tempted. But the price is pretty…"
Celine Keating commented on the group 'Small Publishers and Independent Authors'
"Shawn, I've never heard that Kirkus charges for a review - is that for self-published books? In any case, I'd love to know about your experience w/booths at events - what kinds of events have worked for you and how have you gotten invited…"
Celine Keating commented on the group 'Small Publishers and Independent Authors'
"Hi all,
I ran into the same problem with my small press book - my publicist sent out PR materials and copies to both traditional outlets as well as blogs - we got 3 or 4 reviews and two offers to write a guest blog (no blog reviews at all).…"
Celine Keating commented on the group 'CHARACTERS'
"She's in Surprise, but I don't know the area at all.... "
Celine Keating left a comment for Deborah Batterman
"Deborah,
How exciting! I live in NYC but was invited to do the reading by the Mount Pleasant Library. The event is listed now on my home page (I'm not yet up to speed on how to post things the right way) but the text is below, in case you can…"
