“I wrote to you shortly before BEA in an attempt to get information on what I should do to get publishers interested in my self-published book. You told me to research the publishing houses and see which ones best fit my book. Well, I picked the top 24 and made press kits for those publishers. I also passed out business cards, brief bios, and a run down on what my book was about. Anyways, long story short, when I got back, I sorted through several offers and finally came to terms with a Kensington Books. Thanks for all your help and for your 1001 Ways to Market Your Books.” — Love, Kisses, and Trailer Park Wishes, Ruby Ann Boxcar
