It's the Flux Capacitor, Marty. Or should I say, Calvin Klein.

Okay, everybody's enthusiasm is leaking down to my part of the world. All these are in the red mud section of South Carolina and evirons. I don't think I'm stepping on anybody's toes, but if I am, please shout out so we can work together. Props to my husband who sent these out today and has another list for tomorrow. He says it's his way of lending a hand to a worthwhile project.

Dallas / Fort Worth

I know Jamie E is from Richardson. Anyone else from the Dallas / Fort Worth area? I think it'd be nice to list all of the writers in the release. Everyone counts!

 

[awatkins]

Okay, I think I've got north Alabama (and some of central) covered. Here's who I hit:

The Anniston Star
The Sand Mountain Reporter
The Florence Times Daily
The Birmingham Times
The Birmingham News
The Cullman Times
The Hartselle Enquirer
The Decatur Daily
The Athens News-Courier
Birmingham Christian Family Magazine

Since Alabama took some big hits from the storms, I hoping the press release will attract a lot of attention. *fingers crossed and boy, it's hard to type this way*

I have also send a PR to a journalist I have been in touch, in the past, from the Montreal Gazette.

Charlie, have you received any response from Canada AM? Has anyone approached Global in Toronto?

[Kim Gogo]

And, I just faxed a copy of the press release to Stephen Harper's office (Conservative Party Leader). Paul Martin's listing in GEDS does not show his fax number and none of the party leaders show emails. I will try to get a fax off to the NDP and Bloc Leaders tomorrow and will call the PM's office to find a way to get it to him.
I know they're a little 'big' for my britches, but I figure, they're in my hometown, they would do well with knowing in what a big project a little member of their community is involved.

I offered to bring my copy by to show them SOS.

kim
p.s.I hope I didn't double dip with someone else's press release. No one had mentioned it.

[aka eraser]

I'll be hitting the Toronto papers and most of the weeklies in southern Ontario by the first of the week. Am waiting to hear back from a friend on one of the TO papers. Would like to give it to her first but it looks like she's away 'til the weekend.

 

[ChunkyC]

Sent out some more, but the big one was to BookTV, Canada's national literature station. If these guys don't bite, it has to be my deodorant.

I have tried CanadaAM, but no response yet. I still have another addy to try for them. Maybe I'll call Seamus at home, bwuahaha!

Still haven't heard back from my own newspaper editor. Maybe I should call him right now....

... *&^$%@# voicemail.

Hey Charlie!

Don't worry about it! When this anthology gets big enough (which I'm sure it will), Seamus will be calling you at home!

I re-contacted local Red Cross today--the woman I spoke to last time was a lot more receptive this time; she's not so swamped now, plus I think she was feeling guilty for not following up w/ me earlier.

She said they have a good relationship w/ the local shopping mall manager, and perhaps we could turn a book signing into a media event.

She also said they could provide a link from their local RC website to SoS website.

When I spoke to her this time, she sounded a bit more impressed. (I'm hoping that after she sees Richard's work on the site, she will be even more so.)

[ChunkyC]

On my lunch break today, I sent the release to CanadaAM (again), CBC Radio One's "As It Happens", and Calgary CTV affiliate CFCN. I should be able to crank up the quantity on Sunday when I'm not at work.

 

[Shwebb]

Has anybody thought to contact National Public Radio? This sounds like something right up their alley.

 

[OneTeam OneDream]

Sean Hannity has been contacted.....no response yet.

 

[JennaGlatzer]

Ah, yes, I did contact NPR. Actually, I've gone bananas with press releases, requests for free ads, and message board postings today. I'll post the full list in a little while-- I'm still going.

 

[ChunkyC]

Heard back from the CTV affiliate in Calgary (CFCN) & sent them the PDF review copy. Just might get us on their noon news show in the near future. Crossing my fingers!

And now I'd better get back to my "real" work or I'm gonna get fired and editors will stop letting me write more books.

Wow Jenna!

I am way behind!
