Any idea on how to leave a comment, I might have one or two. Turns away laughing hysterically.
...PublishAmerica... makes its books available in both the United States and Europe through all bookstores,
And did you catch the phrase:
emphasis mine
Ya gotta be kiddin' me...
Oh, I know that - but your regular, everyday guy might see it and think "It's in bookstores" as opposed to being ordered through bookstores.
A bit deceptive, no?
then again, i wish i could say i was shocked - sadly, i know...
So, it looks like they have upgraded Miranda's "resonate with an audience...fits like a hand in a glove...from sea to shining sea...across the fruited plain" blurb. Or maybe they've finally just done away with it. Good riddance, sez me.
We'll see.
Yeah, at least once every five years is a good start.It was too easy to find using Google to see that it was the same for every book. Can't let the marks become suspicious so you have to upgrade the game regularly.
In other words, BFD.I poked around through the site, and this looks like a user-created account. Anyone can sign up and create their own account and post their own news stories and photos. They kind of tout it as a place where anyone can post their own press releases.
My own local paper does something kind of similar. People can sign up and post events and the like. None of it passes any sort of editorial scrutiny.
Hmm, that sounds familiar, doesn't it?
You know, this gives me an idea - sign up and make a "press release" about Absolute Write forums: "Thinking of getting something published? Check out what others say about various publishers on the Bewares and Background Check forum at Absolutewrite.com/forums."I poked around through the site, and this looks like a user-created account.

Hey, that's a real easy note to write and send. I sent mine both to the newsroom and to retail advertising, since that's what PA is doing, using them for free advertising.Yes, use http://www.timesnews.net/contact.php to send them a note.
Hmmm, do you think they should send Shawn a bill for all that advertising?
EDIT: On the signup link, one of the features is "Promote Your Business" which might make it legitimate. I dunno.
