What Are You Selling?
Who has books out? I told you about mine, I want you to tell me about yours.
As I was browsing the blogosphere over the weekend, I noticed several people talking about their books and contests, and I thought, we should have a virtual book bazaar. What good does it do just telling your 'regular' followers about what's going on at your place? You need to tell my followers and my followers need to tell theirs.
People want to know what's out there. Why not start here?
You all did such a good job with the Blog Shout-Outs, I thought we could try something similar with books and contests.
If you have a new release (or an old one):
Email me at mariazannini AT gmail DOT com. Send me ONE (1) Buy link and a small jpg of your cover. You can also send me the blurb IF you can keep it under 50 words. On Friday I'll post everybody's current or latest release.
If you have a contest on your blog or group blog:
Email me at mariazannini AT gmail DOT com. Send me the url address and a short pitch for the contest. If you have a graphic, send that too.
It'll be a party. We'll call it Buy-A-Palooza. If you want to be included, send me your info before this Thursday.
The idea is to introduce as many people as possible to your work or contest. And just to bring that brainchild home, I am going to buy one lucky commenter a book (chosen by Randomizer) from the list of entries on Friday.
Of course, if nobody enters somebody's going to be stuck getting my book. So you better email me.
What do you think? Are you interested?

Comments
If your book wins the random draw, I'll just buy it for the comment winner in September.
Remind me too when it releases and I'll give you another plug then.
Ref: You are a genius!
Obviously, you are very perceptive! LOL!
Thanks, Lia. This should be fun! I want to see what everyone has.
In that case, my job is done. :)
I'll also post on Facebook (because that's where I get most of my visitors from).
Vegetarian: Me too. Sometimes I just want a virtual bookshelf where I can browse from a wide assortment of authors.
So I thought...Hey, why don't I do that? :)
I think this is a great idea!
For me it's a bit too late though. :( Sniff, sniff. I just held a contest in July and I'm announcing the winners on August 18
My book is not out yet :( as I'm still working on it.
If this turns out to be a success perhaps you can do it again for Christmas (people do give books as gifts) ;)
It just occurred to me this morning.
But if I get enough interest, maybe we can do this again.
Thanks!
