Snail-Mail Your Favorite Author For eBook Publication
Posted by Ed Hansberry in "CONTENT" @ 02:00 PM
Many of you have probably received your Palm Digital Media Weekend Specials email by now, but for those that don't subscribe, they had a request of ebook enthusiasts in it that I'll now reprint, without their permission. ;) I don't think they will mind though. :D
So, fire up those ink pens and get on Google to find those publisher addresses.
Quote: The single most common question we get here at PDM is "Why don't you have..." and you can fill in your favorite candidate. Tom Clancy, John Grisham, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, etc. We all know that those books will sell really well. Just look at how fast The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy jumped onto our best-seller list last weekend.
And so do the publishers. They hear it from us almost constantly. The thing that's needed to make this happen is for you to write your favorite author and ask him to make his books available as Palm Reader eBooks. And as much as we depend on email and technology, you need to do this the old fashioned paper and snail mail way. Send him or her a letter, care of the publisher and tell him/her how much you enjoy his/her books and how much you'd like to see the next one made available as a Palm Reader eBook.
And just to let you know that it can work, some good news. Next month we will be putting on sale books from two of the all-time best-selling authors in the world - Louis L'Amour, with the Sacketts series, and a handful of titles from a mystery writer whom we're sure you'll all recognize - stay tuned for more news!
