Hello Everyone,
I need help in marketing my book entitled, "Unholy Matrimony: Healing For The Abused Woman." It was published in June 2007 and I have had several book signings but it is going kind of slow. I have an upcoming book singing at a women's retreat in Oct but I want other avenues to get my book out. Thanks
Steven Nathaniel Patterson Comment by Steven Nathaniel Patterson on June 16, 2009 at 5:46pm
I need an editor. I’m currently working a major manuscript that should break me through as an author. Before I send it to any publishers I want it edited. I’m not seeking a professional editor (because they charge too much) but somebody with natural editing skills from this site. I will pay for the service (which can negotiate on). If anybody is interested let me. Remember I won’t need this done until a few months from now because it’s not yet finished.

SPAM IS SO NOT COOL!

Please do not greet everyone on the site with large images and announcements of your book or business. Yes, you want to tell the world, but learn the fine art of subtlety. A simple welcome and signature/link is fine. Let them ask you for more.
We have lost numerous members because of the amount of 'friend' mail they instantly receive. This Hurts Everyone.
Spam is unsolicited advertising, whether it is posted as comments on other members' pages or is emailed for marketing purposes.

Please be considerate. Post your advertisement in the proper Articles/Forum or Group. There are free classifieds on the Pages tab. You can post your information on your profile and even update your blog as often as you like.

We are not into censorship, so please don't make us ask you to leave. Be kind and unselfish - don't spam.
