http://slunch.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 05/ why-i-love-some-bresnot.htmlSo, a lovely publicist friend just passed this along to me. For those of you too lazy to click through, it's a Publishers Weekly blog entry by Editor-in-Chief Sara Nelson, entitled "Why I Love (Some) Publicists."

Thirteen Rules for Publicizing Your Book
http://yvonneperry.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 05/ thirteen-rules-for-publicizing-your.h…by Mark David Gerson 1) There are no rules. What worked for your last book may not work on this one.
