What better present for a Mother on Mother's day than a book of 'singles' by their favourite authors, as selected by their kids?Rikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10564300512472868098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733835506387656648.post-76049222947361110942010-10-12T19:15:13.735-04:002010-10-12T19:15:13.735-04:00I too wonder how these are promoted as I presume o...I too wonder how these are promoted as I presume one buys before reading - or are samples offered?<br />Does the author with the best elevator pitch make the most money?<br />Not the way I'd want to buy for sure.Jilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06206343146099915097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733835506387656648.post-87353767049040286342010-10-12T17:05:37.982-04:002010-10-12T17:05:37.982-04:00I'm curious as to how authors and publishers w...I'm curious as to how authors and publishers will promote all these shorter works. I'm assuming both will sink less time and money into them because they'll sell for a lower price point than novels.
