Libby Grandy's very insightful and gracious review for Spiral Ceiling has just been posted on The New Book Review (http://www.thenewbookreview.blogspot.com) and I'm excited. Getting closer to the May 2 release date, and a lot of the pieces are falling into place. I have uploaded the contents of the book on Amazon so they will be able to let people look inside the book if they want a preview, but it's not visible yet. And I need to figure out how to get Amazon to list it in a more detailed category than biographies and memoirs (of which there are about 200,000 currently available to compete with) if I can. I think bios of scientists or of educators would be a lot more likely to be searched for anyway. No one can read a list of 200 thousand entries looking for something. They're bound to narrow it down, and then my entry will be lost.
If any of you are gearing up for a book release, I highly recommend that you check into the ideas of Carolyn Howard-Johnson (I've added her site to my favorite sites along the left side). She has a free newsletter that's great. However her Frugal Book Promotion book on Kindle is not very expensive, and it's a mother-lode of good ideas for someone who wants to make a book more visible. And they are free or at least frugal! That's the best part for me, as I near retirement.
