Book promotion takes time. Book reviews take three months to three years to appear
because magazines and even daily newspapers have long lead times. The easiest mistake
is to send out books for review, news releases on your books, or a direct-mail offer and
then to sit back and wait for the results. The secret of savvy book promotion is to keep up
the pressure: keep sending out the packets and keep making the phone calls. You need a
constant reference and this book will be your mentor.
