Free Report Helps Authors Create
the Exposure that Sells Books
FAIRPORT, NY – April 2008 – Here's a helpful free resource for authors
looking to generate more excitement for their books.
"Beyond the Press Release: 10 Exciting Book Buzz Ideas That Will Take
You to the Top" offers foolproof -- yet practical -- ideas authors can
use to secure free media exposure for all types of books, whether they
have been available for weeks, months or even years.
"Many authors don't realize there's much more they can do to promote
their books than send press releases," says Sandra Beckwith, author of
the report and instructor of an online book promotion course. "This
report helps them see the range of tools and techniques that can make a
difference in their book's visibility."
To get the free special report, go to http://www.buildbookbuzz.com and
enter your name and e-mail address in the boxes at the top of the page.
