It's easy for some folks to forget that authors aren't born with the savvy to handle publicity gracefully. <br /><br />We have to learn as we go--and it's easy to feel a bit overwhelmed when you thought you just signed up to write books.<br /><br />Book bloggers are a blessing for authors because they take away some of that burden. We owe it to you rockstars to make things as easy for you as possible. Here's one grateful author!Ashley Hope Pérezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15991064798582078393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482156857828868888.post-46989909722813305192012-01-26T14:33:54.931-05:002012-01-26T14:33:54.931-05:00Oops, I'd also say ask the blogger if they'...Oops, I'd also say ask the blogger if they'd like a copy.

My assumption at that point is that they want me to purchase it and I have far too many books in my stacks already that I requested or were sent from publishers that I would prefer to read rather than purchase from an unknown author.Read in Colourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13142835056768452240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482156857828868888.post-14961707328182264542012-01-26T14:30:53.880-05:002012-01-26T14:30:53.880-05:00Great tips.
