It’s the Monday after the Fourth of July weekend. That means it’s back to book promotion. This book publicist is back in full force, and I’m trusting the media decision makers will be back at their desks, too, and gearing up for new pitches.
Here’s one promotion opportunity I wouldn’t wish on anyone: finding greatly exaggerated rumors of your death on one of the social networks and then refuting those rumors. It happened, according to a recent article on CNN, to actor Jeff Goldblum who, in a promotional coup, was given the opportunity to read his own obituary on “The Colbert Report.”
