I'm hopeful, if I do, others out there will too. <BR/><BR/>Hugs, <BR/><BR/>DestinyDestiny Blainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03392943129642341236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214139537886339178.post-6394664896119415362008-04-23T06:00:00.000-05:002008-04-23T06:00:00.000-05:00Hi Kimberlee!

I love hearing from readers and I agree they need to be recognized. I try to send my readers a letter at least once a year, usually around the holidays with a poem. Or maybe a card. And I do give away things.<BR/><BR/>Since you are the first reader to have posted, I'd like to give you a free pdf of one of my 'tempered' books.<BR/><BR/>Please email me @ pthib-7@centurytel.net and let me know which one you'd like.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again.<BR/>PamtPamela S Thibodeauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12951038997223264816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214139537886339178.post-11359737777143086612008-04-22T22:02:00.000-05:002008-04-22T22:02:00.000-05:00I am a reader.

This is the only one I have ever gone to in my life but the author was so gracious and gave away items to everyone who attended, I now take an active part in many author's groups, enter contests and talk to many, many authors. I chat, post comments, and try to help in any why I can, even make suggestions. My daughter (age 21), who never really was into reading, now reads a few authors' works, again because of this one woman. So if you want to know what works, I would tell you to be gracious and kind to all your readers and give them a small token of your appreciation now and then. We do appreciate being recognized. By the way, the gracious and kind author who had such an impact on my daughter and got me more involved was Sherrilyn Kenyon.orelukjp0https://www.blogger.com/profile/17088725937016723303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214139537886339178.post-82790910402833606272008-04-22T11:29:00.000-05:002008-04-22T11:29:00.000-05:00I did the t-shirt thing too.

The best thing, wear them at an amusement park or somewhere you're standing in line and there is nothing else to do but stare at the person's back in front of you. Someone is bound to ask.

Correction to the above: <BR/><BR/>Sometimes I change things up and ask, "Would you like a bookmark?" and when they say yes, I give them an autographed one, and say, "Here's an excerpt from Book X, too." Because, psychologically, I think accepting a bookmark seems like less of a commitment than accepting an excerpt. :-)Rachelle Chasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08330118049972010568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214139537886339178.post-85001364165719541302008-04-22T08:04:00.000-05:002008-04-22T08:04:00.000-05:00I did something similar - I had a t-shirt made wit...I did something similar - I had a t-shirt made with two book covers. Text above said, "Want to win a copy of my books?" and below the books, it said, "Ask me how!" My web site address was on the back. Only thing is ... I never wore it. LOL It was a 'freebie' from Vista Print and, while I liked the quality, it was a big, boxy t-shirt (the kind I use for sleepwear), as opposed to a more fitted cut, so that's my excuse.<BR/><BR/>So, if I ever wear it, I'll let you know. :-)<BR/><BR/>One thing that's worked for me is to give out excerpts of my books at book signings. Anyone 18+ who passes my table gets a smile, followed by, "I'm a local author signing books today. Would you like an excerpt?" People oftentimes come back after they've read the excerpt and buy the book - both, while I'm still there and afterwards.<BR/><BR/>You've got some great promotion ideas, Pamela! I wish you continued success!Rachelle Chasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08330118049972010568noreply@blogger.com
