Book Marketing Update newsletter ("Web News," March 2002)! <full promotion> <spot ad> <about our readers> <editorial services> <web design> Curled Up With a Good Book is an e-zine committed to bringing good books from presses of all sizes to the attention of our readers and newsletter subscribers. Our book review site attracts more than .4 million page views a year and the number is growing. Publishers, authors and agents can send review copies to us at our general shipping address: Curled Up With a Good BookFor publishers and authors wishing to promote their books on Curled Up With a Good Book, we offer two options:
Individual titles featured in our monthly online full-scale promotion get run-of-site attention in several ways:
The banner ads and front (home) page featured book cover link to the title's page on Barnes & Noble online (bn.com) or to the author or publisher's web site. The more economical of the advertising options we offer, the spot ad promo features a prominent (above-the-fold) run-of-site text blurb of one to two sentences linking to either the author/publisher's web site or to the book's page on Barnes & Noble online at bn.com as well as featured placement in all editions of our newsletter published during the month of the ad run. The cost to the publisher for all this exposure is modest by today's WWW advertising standards. Promotions run from the first through the last days of each calendar month. Please note that we do not guarantee click-throughs or online sales for either of these promotions. Their purpose is to pique the interest of our site visitors, to raise interest in the promoted titles. For rates and further details, email .

Editorial services Publishing services like iUniverse and 1stBooks have made getting published a snap. The disadvantage writers going this route face is a lack of quality editorial assistance. While authors no longer have to surrender their manuscript to an eternity languishing in a large publishing house's slush pile, neither do they benefit from sharp editorial scrutiny. Make sure that your writing sings. Curled Up With a Good Book's editors can help first-time and self-published authors polish and preen their prose with copy editing, proofreading and style assistance.
