1001 Ways to Market Your Books, Sixth Edition (1001 Ways to Market Your Books: For Authors and Publishers)
John Kremer's home might be nestled in Iowa cornfields, but his advice on book marketing comes straight from publishing's epicenter. 1001 Ways to Market Your Books is a tome of biblical proportion, a 700-page "organized potpourri" of useful ideas, examples, tips, and suggestions. You name it, Kremer covers it: publication scheduling, series and directory writing, attaining bestsellerdom, direct mail, cover design, offbeat advertising, online sales, alternative markets, and much (really!) more. He includes addresses and phone numbers, Web site addresses, and hundreds of marketing stories from authors and publishers. It is these stories that inspire one to think outside the box. One Canadian author changed his last name from Zimmerman to Cimmerman purely for bookstore-placement purposes. And Greg Godek, author of 1001 Ways to Be Romantic, performs a reverse shoplift. He sneaks copies of his books onto stores' shelves, figuring that if a copy sells, the store will order more. --Jane Steinberg

1001 Thanks:
This is a very comprehensive guide, especially if you are just starting out (like I am). Though I will not use all of the ideas - there are many I have already started using and will continue to use with future publications. Highly recommend.
The Go-To Mom Gives Kremer a Two Thumbs Up!:
The Kremer 100 list, his multiple websits and products, the media list, pr advice, the information never stops! I dog-ear the corners, highlight, mark and sticky tab the entire book. I have gotten more information from John's book than my whole first two years in college. I now feel more than prepared to market my book series. Wow. He's one resource that has captured a niche.
