Book Marketing Goes to the Movies
by John Ydstie
Morning Edition, July 18, 2006 · Authors and
publishers are always looking for ways to make their
books stand out from the crowd. Now, companies are
producing trailers for books -- like movie previews,
but for literature.
Welcome to our
reality show, “Getting Published”
In this series we’ll follow the efforts of various
writers as they work on their books, look for agents
and publishers, go through the publishing process,
and embark on their marketing. We’ll look at their
proposals, writing, query letters, and marketing
plans and share in their reactions as they hear, or
don’t hear, from agents and editors.
