Sarah Weinman (you know her from the Confessions of an Idionsyncratic Mind blog) just passed along this blog post / query from Sara Nelson at Publishers Weekly about what makes a good (book) publicist. If you want to chime in, click through to Nelson’s post to comment.

For some time now, I’ve closely followed a lot of very informative sites about media and about the publishing industry. Since I find myself quite voluble at times about issues that pertain to my job, I thought I’d set up a book publicity blog. The purpose of this blog is provide tips, primarily, but also information about publishing / marketing trends that will help book publicists — and hopefully others in media and publishing — do our jobs with greater ease and efficiency.
I encourage you to subscribe to my feed, but I also send out a daily newsletter with content from this blog. To subscribe by email, contact me at bookpublicityblog[at]gmail[dot]com. To unsubscribe, well, you know what to do.
