]]> Comment on How not to promote your crappy self-published book by Reagan Rothe http://www.lisjobs.com/blog/?p=850&cpage=1#comment-7380 Reagan Rothe Tue, 19 Jul 2011 22:58:19 +0000 http://www.lisjobs.com/blog/?p=850#comment-7380 I am not hear to counter anything that has been said about Black Rose Writing, only update everyone and inform them that our so-called "vanity" press has attended and will be attending: -NY Book Expo -ALA Show -Texas Book Festival with seven authors from the U.S. attending to sign and promote -Old-Fashioned Christmas with more authors attending from the U.S. to sign and promote We also just donated to Reading is Fundamental, already sent out over 1,000 review copies this year, and have scheduled many book signings and promotional events for our authors. All aspects of a "vanity" press. I am very sorry that some of our critics, who have never been published or associated with us, have all this FREE time to continue trying to attack a company who deals with their authors on a personal level, and believes they all deserve their books to be read. Never will please everyone. Best of luck writers!

Mine is Podcasters Across Borders (PAB)--this will be my fourth year attending. Another law librarian, Jim Milles, got me started in this conference. It is a close community, roughly 100 people attend, and we have a fantastic weekend. If anyone is interested in learning about social media and content creation, this is a great group (it is not just about podcasting)--I highly recommend it! http://www.podcastersacrossborders.com/ Great question!

I found it to be far more informative than any library conference I've attended, even the tech-oriented ones.

There are some librarians, though we are certainly not the majority. I thought the sessions were really valuable and interesting.

Learned tons, fun talking to super techies, good times. I really enjoyed an web accessibility conference I went to a year ago at University of Illinois.

(http://www.cfp.org/) This was in 1994 during the height of the Clipper Chip & PGP controversies. I got to meet Bruce Sterling, Steven Levey, Bruce Sterling, Emanuel Goldstein (2600 Magazine) and some NSA spooks. I'd love to go again.
