Keeps You on the Cutting Edge
We produce a quarterly e-mail newsletter to keep members apprised of news, fresh review and marketing opportunities, trends, and reminders of important deadlines. Every member with an e-mail address receives this illuminating newsletter.
We were delighted by the positive reaction. Dozens of you e-mailed or called to say you liked the added benefit. Here are some of the comments:
A most useful newsletter. Lots of help on promotion and marketing is just what I need, and of course, on a low budget. I printed the newsletter off to take to the library with me, and to restudy. Also e-mailed it to a couple of non-SPAN members who are publishing. Indeed I will be following up on many of your tips. Between the SPAN newsletter and this one, there is no excuse for a publisher to not get their books into the public’s eye—unless they don’t want to put out the energy and effort required. MEGAWATTS! Many thanks!

WOW, what a useful ezine. This reflects you so well. You’re all about serving others, and this is packed with interesting and useful information.
—Sam Horn
Thanks for the great on-line newsletter. I look forward to receiving the next issue. The piece on catalogs hit home—I’m a printer of books and catalogs. I immediately copied the catalog article and e-mailed it to the marketing director at Hart Graphics with great expectations that any of the directories could lead to additional prospects.

EXCELLENT—all information is valid and helpful—thank you for the FIRST 100% non-BS newsletter I’ve ever received.
—Jeffrey Gitomer, CSP
Absolutely wonderful information. I hope to be able to put some of it to use. After two years of trying to market my book on a real shoestring, some of your ideas may finally let me see some results. I have an historic, unique, one-of-a-kind book and just can’t seem to reach the right audience. Thanks!

I just finished reading the newsletter I received today, and I was so blessed by the articles and information that I wanted to write and tell you how good it is. As a fledgling author and not-really-often-enough promoter of my work, I especially appreciate the practical tips about where to get information about promotional resources that were included in the articles. Part of my under-graduate studies included library science courses, so they really spoke to the researcher in me and my comfort level with doing the leg work. Thanks again.
—Mary Ann Hastings, Libre Press
