Need a job

Anything. As long as it comes with benefits. I'll return punts naked for the Seahawks if I can get benefits.

A Gig

I got one.

Three months.

More later.

Maybe.

Going Rogue Versus Gone Postal

Wednesday, 11 November 2009 20:18

On November 17th Sarah Palin's book "Going Rogue" will drop. I think I'll choose the same date to drop my book, "Gone Postal." I'll walk over to where I've got 'em stacked, pick one up, and drop it on my office (bedroom) floor where it will land with a muted thud (much more muted than Palin's book tour through the "real America").

I also think I'll make more money publishing my book than HarperCollins will make off Palin's memoir. She got an advance of anywhere from $1.5 million to $7 million. If that number is $5 million, HarperCollins will need to sell 400,000 copies in order to make any money.

Myself, I've printed 40 copies via createspace and have distributed most of those to the 20 or so people who have pre-ordered. I've also had one online sale. I'm already in the black.

New PR

 This is good stuff:

Francine Hardaway writes an article in Fast Company about Brian Solis and Deirdre Breakenridge writing about the aging business of PR. And here I am writing about it.

Money quote:

"The future of PR is already underway and it's defining who we are and what we choose to represent." 

To me, this justifies what I am doing right now. I have chosen to represent myself, my book, and Rose City Publishers. Whether or not this is economically feasible at this point remains to be seen.
