Everything I Needed to Know, I Learned from Bloggers

This blog has come to fruition for many reasons. Yes, it is partially because I love Peachtree and would like everyone to know how great the books we publish are, and a little bit is because it’s my job, but it is mostly because of all the amazing book blogs I have been reading recently. Seriously, if you want to learn about what books you should be reading, bloggers know. They know everything, like Yoda, only with better grammar. I have been fortunate enough to work with many of them over the past several months on two blog tours for 14 Cows for America by Carmen Agra Deedy and The Brain Finds a Leg by Martin Chatterton. Believe it or not, I have managed to go from knowing NOTHING about Twitter and blogging, to having a cursory knowledge of the subjects without stepping on too many toes. As many of you know, for a publicist, this is a mighty feat. It helps to learn from others mistakes, but it is best to go straight to the source—the bloggers themselves. So here, with help from Bri, of Bri Meets Books, and Gina, of Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers, I’ve put together some Dos & Don’ts for publicists in regards to the blogging community.

Do…

Don’t…

Thanks to Bri Meets Books, and Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers, for your feedback! I hope that my paraphrasing has gotten your ideas across properly! Be sure to comment and add (or subtract from) this list. I'm always happy to learn more.
