book promotion Archives

I’m selfpublishing a book.How can I tell who the Audience is?
I have to choose about 15 of my celebrity photographic portraits to use in the promotion of my book. this is the difficult part, Should i appeal to photographers and choose my all time best work as an artist, or assume that it will be the general public who will be the buyers, and pick the celeb samples by who is popular now? I wish i could figure out who the book’s ‘audience’ will be?

A very good question.
Try going to any of the major book stores and see what section of the store they would put the book in?

Can you do some sort of a book signing, and see what kind of people you draw in?

Talk to an English Professor and see how they would rate the book.

Send copies to some of the major newspapers, and let them read it and see how they would rate it.

Talk to an agent?

Best of luck, stick with it.

The Book of Totally Irresponsible Science

What could be more fun for kids than to have the kind of rip-roaring good time that harkens back to pre-video game, pre-computer days? Introducing 64 valuable science experiments that snap, crackle, pop, ooze, crash, boom, and stink! From Marshmallows on Steroids to Home-Made Lightning, the Sandwich Bag Bomb to Giant Air Cannon, The Book of Totally Irresponsible Science awakens kids’ curiosity while demonstrating scientific principles like osmosis, air pressure, and Newton’s Third Law of Motion.

Kids will love performing these experiments, which use common household ingredients and equipment, in front of an audience or for themselves (though many require adult supervision). Entries are categorized into seven chapters according to scientific theme and are written in a simple-to-follow recipe format. each includes a detailed explanation of the scientific principle involved and a “Take Care!” section with special tips. The book’s design and illustrations recall the pulp fiction look of science magazines from the days when space travel was still considered sci-fi, while the author’s voice is wry and a bit conspiratorial. He assumes his readers are clever and never coddles them. Drop Mentos into a bottle of diet soda and stand back as a geyser erupts! Launch a rocket made from a film canister! Encase your little brother in a giant soap bubble! For young scientists—and the young at heart—this book is a blast. Literally.
