title: Book Blitz: Getting Your Book in the News : 60 Steps to a Best Seller
author:  Barbara Gaughen 
description: Book Blitz: Getting Your Book In The News To Make It A Best Seller is a compendium of the tips, tricks, and techniques utilized by professional book publicists and marketing directors to publicize, promote, and sell books in today's highly competitive marketplace. Book Blitz offers an easy-to-follow, reader-friendly, step-by-step, low-cost sixty-step guide to effective book promotion. Book Blitz (with a terrific foreword by small publishing guru Dan Poynter) is must reading for any self-published author, small press publisher, aspiring publicist or newly appointed marketing director. In addition to fourteen chapters jam-packed with practical "how- -to" advice, Book Blitz also features 44 "Gray Pages" of significant promotional resources, a PR &amp; Book Publicity Questionnaire, and a glossary of publishing/publicity terms. Indeed, the only thing missing is the inclusion of the Midwest Book Review in the section devoted to listing reviewing resources. Nonetheless, Book Blitz is a "must" for new publishers. -- <i>Midwest Book Review</i>
