Grasping for the Book Marketing
Published 2/3/2009 by The Crotchety Old Fan at The Crotchety Old Fan
John Ottinger (Grasping for the Wind) talked about book marketing the other day in a recent TOR entry. I tried to be commenter #16.  I tried REALLY, REALLY hard; my browser blew up on me on the first and second attempts.  The third try seemed to work - until I noticed that it had been given a comment number of ‘1′ - when it should have had 16 or higher and, when I checked the post it wasn’t there.  Off to the great black hole of things that disappear from the net. Not being a big fan of writing the same exact thing more ...

Meme: SFF Review Blogs
Published 12/12/2008 by Andrew Wheeler (noreply@blogger.com) at The Antick Musings of G.B.H. Hornswoggler, Gent.
John Ottinger, of Grasping for the Wind, is trying to making a list of as many of the people reviewing fantasy and SF online, and he decided to crowd-source the task.

Book reviewer linkup meme
Published 12/12/2008 by Bill the sci-fi guy at FROM A SCI-FI STANDPOINT
(Via Bill Ward ) John at Grasping for the Wind came up with a nifty way of collecting links to book review blogs . His meme works like this: (1) he started with a list of links, (2) other reviewers are to add their sites to the list (inserting alphabetically) and post the new list on their own blogs, and (3) John then updates his master list from the trackbacks. So this ever-growing list of links to a variety of book review sites gets passed around so lots of people can see it and hopefully find something to their liking. Great idea. A lot of these are new to ...

A Book Reviewers Linkup Meme
Published 12/11/2008 by Charles (noreply@blogger.com) at Bibliophile Stalker
From Grasping for the Wind: My list of fantasy and sf book reviewers is woefully out of date. I need your help to fix that. But rather than go through the hassle of having you send me recommendations or sticking them in comments, what you can do is take the following list and stick it on your website, then add yourself to the list, preferably in alphabetical order. That way, I will be able to track it across the web from back links, and can add each new blog to my roll as it comes along. ...
