Those of you who read my passionate plea last week will know that I am thinking of releasing an ebook. If you missed the post, basically, I'm going to release a compilation of Muppets For Justice posts together with some previously unreleased articles and brand new content. Think of it as a greatest hits anthology, but with an extra CD full of bonus tracks and B sides.
So anyway, due to the amazingly positive response I got, I've decided to press ahead and actually release this. I'm very excited to publish my own ebook. It's something that I've never done before, so I hope you'll all bear with me while I get to grips with the whole process.
The release date I'm looking at is the 27th of January 2014. I know people are going to be busy with Christmas over the next month, and there's some publicity I want to do first.
I know I've been asking a lot from you lovely, lovely folks lately, but I wondered if some of you would be able to do me a favour. In the vein of other Blog authors, I would like to do a Blog tour to try and promote the book. Basically, I'm looking for kind Bloggers who will host me for the day to promote my book. This can take the form of anything really, from an interview, guest post or a podcast. I really don't mind and I'm open to pretty much anything. It doesn't have to be completely about the book either, just as long as it gets mentioned at some point, I'm happy. For ideas, check out some previous Blog Tours I've hosted such as these ones here and here.
If you're interested and would like to do me a solid (a favour, not a poo), then please let me know either in the comments section below, or by emailling me at addman_00@hotmail.com. I'm looking to do them after Christmas, so throughout January, but I am more than willing to start working on posts beforehand with you.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
I am happy to do something Mr Addman. . . . . . I might do an in depth interview with the sort of questions that folk will need to know such as . . . . .
ReplyDeleteWhat is your favourite species of Duck...
Have you just said that because you don't know any other species of Duck
And
Don't Duck the question Mr Addman the public need to know....Yes or No. (sorry I mean Mallard or Pin Tail)
You will hear from me soon (sorry I mean my solicitors).
My favourite species of duck is Peking Duck, followed closely by Crispy Shredded Duck. I don't know many other species of duck because I can't put them straight in my mouth.
DeleteI think such an interview would be very entertaining.
I am now imagining a picture of you with a duck in your mouth and the mental image is rather sexual in nature. You disgust me sir!
DeleteAs the old saying goes Mr H . . . . . . .. If it looks like a Duck, floats like a Duck and Quacks sweet nothings into you ear over a candle lit dinner (sorry as a candle lit dinner) then it is a Duck.
DeleteQuite frankly Mr H I don't understand Mr Addman's fixation with ducks it appalling.
I like all water-dwelling avian life. They all taste great to me.
DeleteY'know, due to my massive ego, I've never had a guest post, but I am thinking about a way for us to collaborate on a post. I'll email you when i hit on the right idea. Right now I'm thinking about a Michael Jackson/Paul McCartney style crossover. In this scenario, I am Michael Jackson...current day Michael Jackson.
ReplyDeleteCurrent day Michael Jackson as in dead Michael Jackson? Still, it's better than being current day Paul McCartney...
DeleteI would be honoured to be the first person to feature on Pickleope.com. I'm salivating over the possibilities, and I'm not even joking.
I'm down to participate in the blog tour. I'll try to think of something clever, but will likely just end up doing a Q&A or podcast if I ever get around to buying a microphone. And aren't the blog tours supposed to be after the ebook release? I don't know much about the blog tour process. I was once asked to do a blog tour, but wasn't quite sure what it entailed. So, instead, I told the guy that I don't get out often and it'd be unlikely that I'd be able to attend his worldwide blog tour. Don't worry, though. I think I got a handle on it now.
ReplyDeleteWell you see, I'm an absolute amateur at Blog tours and I don't know what the hell I'm doing. All I know is I have a book that I want to release, and it's going to kick off in January. I think it would probably be better to launch on the first day of the tour, so I'll have to see how it all works out. I'm just trying to rough out some ideas, so dates may be scheduled to change.
DeleteI've been here and done this so I know how important it is. You're more than welcome to sit in on my blog for a bit whenever you want. Good luck with it all Addman.
ReplyDeleteExcellent, thank you very much. I'll send you an email soon and we'll flesh something out.
DeleteYou're on. got an idea and everything. will be in touch in due course..... bring a duck!
ReplyDeleteAn idea involving ducks? Will we be tasting different ducks?
DeleteCount us in. I'm thinking doing an interview would be fun. Although keep in mind that our writing process is incredibly slow. At the normal pace that we write out to make a January deadline we will need to start the interview no later than two months ago. Or maybe we'll just increase our pace.
ReplyDeleteExcellent, thank you very much. I'll be in touch soon to get the ball rolling, if your writing process is as glacial as you say.
DeleteI've been so worried about getting stranded because of the fashion issue, but those bamboo pants sound darling, I almost want to be in a horrific plane crash now x
ReplyDeleteWhoops, wrong post there Scarlett. Still, it's nice to see that you're reading my older posts too :)
