It really does give the author an alternative path to take. I've published both traditionally and self-pubbed.

His main business is in the advertising industry (worked on the show "Touched by an Angel" in some major capasity (not sure what) any way www.arizonavideocompany.com he charged me $125 for mine. www.sbniccum.com <br />I just wondered what exactly a publicist would do beyond that. I'll check out your leads!

This is new territory for me, lol - honestly, I have priced publicists from the high thousands, to pay by the item houses that you just buy want you want. Book Candy Studios seems reasonable, and they have a few different packages but no set price sheet. Their rep seemed to want to keep packages around a thousand dollars, for a book trailer and author interviews that would reach 20,000 'new' people. Apex has an ala carte style to what they offer, and book trailers START at only 49 dollars. I am looking for something that will help me reach more readers. I have a tight budget, and some computer skills. I could make my own trailer, but I don't know if it is worth the time when I could buy one so inexpensively. Publicists offer a little relief in the marketing department so it doesn't seem like I have to do it all :) At the back of my head is that saying - "you get what you pay for" lolol <br />Check out my site to see how it goes, lololol - and good luck to everyone!Tracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18073746257400544104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016505486794178553.post-1218785522763524152011-06-14T20:50:14.876-04:002011-06-14T20:50:14.876-04:00Deana, this was a terrific experience - Arlee, wri...Deana, this was a terrific experience - Arlee, writing is hard work, but you know what?
