Publicity Package... and other crazy things

I am still months away from launching my first novel. 

But I am currently working on a publicity package.

When my publisher emailed me about this, I said to myself:

----------------------------------------

Yep, nothing. Silence. 

And then I said,

What exactly is a publicity package?

I called her.

She told me.

They set up a press release and basically I have to be prepared to talk, tell and show the book!--and myself.

So, I am coming up with:

- bullet points for the entire book

- Q&A's

-Reviews... are any of you known for reading, writing, reviewing, teaching?? They send the book out to others to read and review, but for the publicity package I need to find a couple.

-Book Blurb different from back of book blurb

And then there's a load of stuff that they do without me.

Wowza.

It's just so new and crazy and new.

And crazy.

And happy.

She also asked for my cover ideas--with the knowledge that marketing may not use one of my ideas. And then again they might. So, here's my idea:

but I know I'm not a artist and this is what their skills are paid to do! So I am having faith that they'll do good. :)
