Attention Everyone!!

Here’s an interesting tidbit for you.  Katherine brought up an article that shows how a book can take on Amazon.com, and become a best seller with NO publisher!! 

Well, that article definitely got my attention!

Turns out that two editors (Malki North and Matthew Bennardo) tapped into their fanbase and had their supporters buy a particular book on Amazon.com — on one specific date.  The plan worked so well that their book held the #1 spot on the site all day, and outsold new releases from mega-authors John Grisham and Glenn Beck, and Keith Richard’s autobiography. 

That got us thinking… creatively… as we so often do.  How can we use this technique to get noticed?

We just started to think out loud, wondering:  What would happen if all our friends would email Ellen DeGeneres (http://ellen.warnerbros.com/show/respond/?PlugID=10) on a specific date — let’s say… January 3 — the first Monday of the New Year — just to wish her a Happy New Year, remind her of our quest to become published authors, and how her help would be greatly appreciated?

Just wondering out loud…  

And what if everyone emailed her around the same time… let’s say 8:00pm (after dinner is done and before the bedtime routines start...) — or any time that works best for you?

Just wondering out loud…

And what if you told her about these two aspiring authors, Anne Marie Girolami and Katherine Abbey, who you've come to know, enjoy, and admire through their blog (http://2aspiringauthors.blogspot.com/) and YouTube channel (2AspiringAuthors)
... and ask her if... somehow... she could help us get published?    

Just wondering out loud…
