BOOKS: Authors get your {{BUZZ}} on!

I just came across a new resource - AuthorBuzz, which could give a new author quite a return on their investment in promoting their book. Every author needs an arsenal of marketing weapons. The competition is steep, this may help you make through the book marketing jungle! LOL What is AuthorBuzz? AuthorBuzz is a marketing service that puts authors directly in touch with readers, reading groups, booksellers and librarians, allowing them to offer excerpts, phone chats or visits with reading groups, material for newsletters, info about contests and freebies, mentions of new reviews — anything and everything authors want to buzz directly to the people who buy, read and sell their books. And for authors, illustrators and publishers of children’s and teen books, see KidsBuzz.
