About

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 in the publicity department at a large publishing house, 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. Please note that the opinions expressed on this blog are my own, not those of my company.

I encourage you to subscribe to my feed in an RSS reader, but you can also receive a daily newsletter with content from this blog. See below for subscription options or for information about how to follow me on Twitter.

Happy pitching.

Yen
