Dan Poynter – If you have researched marketing at all, Dan needs no introduction. One of my favorite author’s who has always been gracious enough to share information, he has produced more than 76 books so far. When I published my first book I used Dan’s best seller The Self-Publishing Manual to guide me and still use it today. Dan has received awards for his work and is a past vice-president of PMA.
Dan Poynter’s seminars have been featured on CNN, his books have been pictured in The Wall Street Journal, and his story has been told in U.S. News & World Report. The media comes to him because he is the leading authority in book marketing, promoting and distributing and I couldn’t agree more.

Michelle,
Is this you?
RevuGuru
http://www.amazon.com/shops/michelle16343
We ask because two books sent for REVIEW/interview have almost immediately been posted FOR SALE on that site. Both are being advertised as NEW therefore are unopened, unread and unreviewed.
I'm sure you can understand why this evokes queries about professional ethics!
Requests to you for clarification have so far gone unanswered. We hope you can find time to answer because going public is not something I necessarily want to put you through.
Thanks.
Eliza.

Michelle,
Thanks for your reply.
I will send free a copy of each of the two new books on www.elizaearsman.com but I need your mailing address. They will be posted from the USA so allow a few days for delivery.
After reading simply send interview questions and I will reply.
Example:
http://yvonneperry.blogspot.com/2009/09/interview-with-author-eliza-earsman.html
Since the nonfiction details affect us all I am keen to get as much awareness as possible - not for money, but for public recognition of the facts.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Eliza.

The books on my site www.elizaearsman.com are authenticated and urgent – see e.g. PRESS RELEASE and UNEDITED author interview.
The details in these books affect us all!
Would you be prepared to take some of these books (20+ copies) when you attend Book Fairs/Expos/garden parties etc? Would you be prepared approach your local bookstores? In short would you like to earn 50% commission? The books are mailed from the US. so at this time the request is to the USA/Canada.
The books have supporting material e.g. www.elizaearsman.com and good search engine results/author interviews. The PRESS RELEASE for example can be printed/photocopied and inserted before the first pages. FLIERS can be sent by MS Word doc. and printed.
*Days of Elijah (Revised and Expanded): A True Story is presently No. 15 of the Top 50 non-fiction books via Black Christian Independent Booksellers*.
If you are interested please get back to me. Payment can be made AFTER sale/s.
I look forward to hearing from you. Remember: 50% is a large whack.
Have a great day.
Eliza.
