She replied, "Because, unless book one sells, there won't be a need for book two." <BR/><BR/>Fortunately, with the Internet, there are a multitude of great promotional sites including Book Bites for Kids! :-) It takes time, but well worth the effort.Mary Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377529303481858837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375847995047931856.post-67502254344150338502008-06-25T12:20:00.000-04:002008-06-25T12:20:00.000-04:00Hi, Diana,Is your question about writing and/or pr...Hi, Diana,<BR/><BR/>Is your question about writing and/or promotion for me? If so, here's my answer to that question:<BR/><BR/>It used to be that people wrote a book and then they became famous. Today it is a little different. People need to create an online presence at the very least (so they are semi-famous) before they begin their writing career, in my opinion, then they will have more luck attracting a publisher. <BR/><BR/>That's why I incorporate both writing and promotional activities into ALL of my coaching programs.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for asking.Suzanne Lieurancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11844924439366800477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375847995047931856.post-59711332913899280922008-06-25T09:33:00.000-04:002008-06-25T09:33:00.000-04:00Thanks, Mary, for hosting Ms. Lieurance.
