Specialty Booksellers #2 - S. California
I am so excited. Tomorrow I am picking up John Kremer at the airport and spending the afternoon with him and then sitting in on his workshop at the Learning Annex in LA. He’ll be teaching How to Become a Bestselling Author. John Kremer is the author of “1001 Ways to Market Your Books,” “Book Marketing Made Easier,” and more. He is also the developer of the Top 500 Independent Bookstores list as well as the bookmarket website. His website is www.bookmarket.com which is a rich resource of information on book marketing.
I’ve been talking with him on the phone and when I saw he was coming to LA I called him and said I want to see you in person. We are both great resources for each other as he deals with authors and wana bees and we want to support authors with their media and speaking skills.
I’m sure we’ll cook something up-so stayed tuned.
In the meantime I am sharing John posted a list of specialty retailers in S. California on his e-zine today.
