Book promotion, it's not for the faint of heart

A friend is working with a new house publicist on their 2014 book release. For obvious reasons I will not name either friend or publisher, but the marketing plan seems to have missed the point that this essay was meant in jest Our Marketing Plan by Ellis Weiner.

It's hysterically funny because it rings all too true :-)

Yes it does! Listening to all my friends in the publishing world (and the exhaustion of blog tours, etc.) is one of the things that terrifies me about publishing in general. It amazes me how much energy authors need to (and DO) put into getting the word out about their work.
