Folks, I have a really good read here between the covers (illustrated). Promise you will find it moving and funny! Make you think, hopefully. But not tell you what to think.Problem is, I apparently need some character called a book promoter: "real" bookstores demand this so they "have someone we can have an account with".
Yes, all the books you see piled in windows are there because their publisher paid for the space ... (I knew that... - though the manager at Waterstones tried to look pityingly at me, "you're several moves behind in publishing" I looked him in the eye right back. After all, he's half my age, and trained to be hard-nosed. I am a little old lady, in his eyes, a Granny who should be home drinking tea.)
Anyhow, anyone got any contacts who'd do me a review for a magazine/newspaper/on their blog/anywhere else? (Twitter it?) It's all about getting heard of. If people want to read it & hate it, that is still publicity, as long as they don't hate AND slate.
