Goodreads Review: A View through the Fog by Bob McGee

 


Bob McGee's book, A View through the Fog, has received a number of reviews of Goodreads -- all outstanding ones. We will be sharing these over the next few weeks. If you want to get them all at once, here you go: A View through the Fog by Bob McGee | Goodreads.

Lane &, awarding five stars, says, 

Wow! This is not just another book full of statistics and publicly known facts (although, there is an index at the back with those numbers if you are curious). Instead, this book is a first-person journey through the eyes and experiences of one man who worked as a bridge painter on the Golden Gate for 12 years. Inside the covers, you'll find stories that will shock you, amuse you and make you laugh, wrench at your heartstrings, and entertain you for hours. Positions as a bridge painter on this famous landmark come up once in a blue moon, and this just may be your one opportunity to learn more about what it's like when you are the lucky one who gets chosen for the job. You won't regret picking up a copy of this book!

A Publisher's Conversation with Authors: Book Marketing vs Book Promotion

Image
It is Tuesday. Monday's madness is over, and Wednesday will take us over the hump, so Tuesday it is--for some serious discussion with authors. Tuesday talks mean to address authors in waiting and self-published authors who would like to go a more traditional route or who would at least like to take their steps with a publisher by their side.  Today's post looks at the difference between book marketing and book promotion, two terms that are frequently confused. Leading to the confusion is that some of the same activities are needed for both. In fact, good marketing is dependent upon good promotion. Perhaps the essential difference is that marketing focuses on sales, and promotion focuses on awareness --  noting that without awareness, sales generally do not happen.

It generally starts with a marketing plan that identifies the target audiences and selects marketing ...
