Promotional TIPS for writers who need to announce and promote their upcoming books by means of various media. Announcements of promotional resources that are of practical use to the group (NOT merely announcements of whatever it is you are trying to promote -- that is sufficient cause for removal from the list). General discussion about author self-advertizing, self-promotion, and various methods of publicity.

Please note that SPAM methods will NOT be discussed nor tolerated and will result in IMMEDIATE removal from the list.

If you SPAM this list, you will also be automatically BANNED from rejoining.

*Blatant* self-promotion will also NOT be tolerated, but if you can do it *tastefully* and on-topic, then we need you and can learn from you!
