Front Row Lit Exiled spread and the value of a good publicist

by J.R. Wagner


So my publicist emailed me and said Front Row Lit did a spread on Exiled (Thank you, Grace!)

Check it out HERE

Front Row Lit is an affiliate website of Front Row Monthly

What is Front Row Monthly?

From their site:

ABOUT FRM
FRM is an exclusively online magazine. The goal of the founders of Front Row Monthly is to offer readers a unique experience by providing a modern blend of fashion, art, music and news. FRM is, in itself, a style— contemporary, fresh and visually stimulating, FRM offers readers a front row ticket to the most relevant happenings in fashion, entertainment and social issues.

Front Row Lit is an affiliate website of Front Row Monthly, Inc., the parent company to Front Row Monthly Magazine, (www.frontrowmonthly.com) Front Row Lit is committed to promoting published authors and offering aspiring writers a free platform on which to promote their art to a new audience.

It is nice to see all the hard work my publicist has done trickle through.  For those of you who aren't 'in the game', marketing for books is like building a house with one hand.  Lots of hard work up front that doesn't usually reap immediate rewards.  What you do today can impact exposure days, weeks, months or sometimes years down the road.  In this world of instant gratification, this process sits at the other end of the spectrum and takes a special group of people to not only be diligent with the initial house building, but patient and organized enough to confirm that the seeds sewn months prior take root. Follow-through. Persistence.

It isn't an easy business especially when most customers want immediate action/return analysis. Show me how what you did last week will sell my books this week. Sorry, dude, it isn't that simple.  If you think it is you're probably better off spending your marketing budget renting a van and selling door-to-door.

50 states, 50 books giveaway

50 state, 50 book give away!

We're giving away 50 signed copies of Exiled!
That's one per state (if your math skills aren't up to par)

How can you win?
 

Easy. 
 

1. Make a big sign that says 'Exile Me!'
2. Stand in front of a state landmark (this could be a sign, historical landmark, building, cityscape -essentially anything that we can identify with your particular state)
3. Snap a photo
4. Email the picture to Exiled@TheNeverChronicles.com
5. Include your mailing address (yes the mailing address must match the state), a description of where you took the photo and what makes it identifiable with your state (if it isn't painfully obvious)
 

Be the first to do so for your state and you win!
 

It's that easy!
