We’ve spent a lot of time lately talking about how important internet promotion is and how social media is changing the face of book marketing. Lots of folks are ready to embrace the shift. Others are more reticent. But in this delightful YouTube clip, author Parnell Hall shows just how flawed some of the more traditional means of publicity are and why some folks should be thankful they aren’t sent on book tours.

ReplyDeleteDo U.S. authors ever go to airport bookstores, I wonder? I've seen authors at book signings in British airports, usually doing a cracking business. Lots of people are looking for good reads for their flights and have time to spare.
That was hilarious. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
