We may...Hey, LA-- thanks for raising the question. We may need to do a whole post on this, in the event not everyone reads the Comments.<BR/><BR/>But,for now, here's the 4-1-1. I basically started with my holiday card list a few years, back, then addded EVERYONE I do business with-- dry cleaner, tax person, plumber, ob/gyn, personal trainer, psychic, you get my drift. <BR/><BR/>It's an ongoing process when a new person comes into my life like that-- they go on my list. People love to buy books written by people they know, I've found.<BR/><BR/>I begged and borrowed media contacts from people in my writer's group that had them. Make sure you add all your local paper editors-- particularly book reviewers and life & leisure editors-- from news and entertainment rags in the town you are living, AND in the town you grew up in.<BR/><BR/>Add church people, PTA people, teachers, principals, librarians, book club members, fellow knitters, etc. <BR/><BR/>Start now! Don't wait until you have a book coming. This is a great stepping into the frame exercise. Start compiling your mailing list now. <BR/><BR/>Other ideas out there?<BR/><BR/>MaryMary Hersheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268062901264527270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411759600837193508.post-61643616358882021232008-02-05T18:35:00.000-08:002008-02-05T18:35:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mary Hersheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268062901264527270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411759600837193508.post-58952003056457486752008-02-04T20:20:00.000-08:002008-02-04T20:20:00.000-08:00I'm on Facebook!

If I get to 4:00 without my cup of tea and the accompanying 15 minutes of down-time, well...let's just say that's NOT the time to stop by for a visit. <BR/><BR/>Unless you want a cup of tea.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with this month. Fill up with lattes and scones and schedule (in INK, ON your calendar!) a full day of decompression when it's over. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411759600837193508.post-51223288855285779912008-02-04T17:24:00.000-08:002008-02-04T17:24:00.000-08:00Hi Mary,Would you mind sharing how you developed y...Hi Mary,<BR/>Would you mind sharing how you developed your mailing list in the first place? Your task is to "update" it, and you mentioned you'll get some of those updates from people in your classes who sign up, but what are your other sources of contacts? Who is on your mailing list? Not the names, of course! but generally who they are: booksellers, other writers, librarians, book reviewers-- friends, Romans, countrymen? All of the above?<BR/>Thanks!Jennifer R.
