Sometimes as an entrepreneur, you just have to do what you have to do to get the word out. I have been creating these fun short advertising spots on social media to raise awareness of my latest book, Leaving Cleveland. For your pleasure, here are a few of them, and please let me know what your favorites are so I can build on your opinion of better ads.
Thank you and please share, subscribe and show me the love …
Sooo I just experienced speed dating for Authors. To launch a book tour, all authors Zoom a 2-minute pitch about their book to about 240 organizations around the country… now I know why a lot of authors drink… Since the pecking order is based on the spelling of your last name, I was 1 of about 35 authors.. all that said, I watched the other brave authors give their 2-minute pitches and was in awe of the talent.. of a writer who translated Kafka’s private letters to English to an author who wrote a book on being Burlesque dancer in Coney Island.. the thread was the Jewish experience.. this event was put on by Jewish Book Council.
I think I’ll crawl into bed now…
At all your favorite book sellers….
Summer Reading Time
I have been getting some great images from my readers. I put out a request to my readers to do a selfie or photograph my book Leaving Cleveland wherever they bring the book. The response has come from Idaho; Texas; NYC; Florida, Colorado; Ohio and just recently Italy. I would love to see more and am hoping to have each State in the US to be represented. So if you have my book, photograph it where you live or visit and send it to me. Here are some of the images that have been taken so far.
April 12th is the official launch of my book Leaving Cleveland, according to Amazon. What does that mean? If you have preordered the book Amazon will be sending them out to you. You know will be able to order the book from Amazon, Barnes&Noble, BookBaby and other booksellers and receive the book in a week or even sooner! If you have read the book, please take a time to review or rate it on Amazon; B&N and Bookbaby…let other people know what you think…
If you happen to be in Cleveland in April : It will be fun!!! and your opportunity to buy a signed book or have your book signed and ask me questions about Leaving Cleveland…

April 12th, 2023 has been designated by Amazon as the day my book will be available to the public. The hardback version will be available May 4th 2023. That will be about 12 years from when I wrote the first sentence and began this long arduous journey to completing my first novel. Now I am using all my skills and experience as a freelancer for the last 40 years to be sure it receives the proper sendoff, which all my freelance friends know it is a Herculean task. What I have also learned is that it is no an isolated task. For the book Leaving Cleveland to reach a larger audience I need to ask for your help.
If you have read this far, thank you. I know when the word ” help” used, people either run for the hills or hopefully curiosity keeps them engaged. The help I am asking is very simple and will not take much of your time and is even sort of fun.
