Might be worth it. FT has a huge readership across Europe and the US, who are generally avid readers. They always have book reviews along fortean themes. They've reviewed similar books like Ross Heaven's 'Hummingbird's Journey to God' about San Pedro. So I think 'Ayahuasca In My Blood' would fit right in. Plus they offer all the books they review for sale online. I can get you the info and details if you want. <br /><br />And then I'd just spend some time googling for every other magazine and periodical along a fringe or spiritual theme and send them a copy!<br /><br />Let me know if you want those details and good luck!SeanHagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03483889069613600518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36128951.post-12013107084168134292010-08-19T07:07:33.087-07:002010-08-19T07:07:33.087-07:00I agree with the others. If you went with this guy...I agree with the others. If you went with this guy you'd lose all the momentum and have to put everything on hold. All the reviews and interviews would have to stop. <br /><br />It might be worth it if this was an established publisher, but it's a start-up, which means it's a risk. Who knows if the label will get off the ground. So many great projects come to nothing. You might even be left in some legal limbo and be unable to republish it yourself. <br /><br />And there is a market for it, I'm sure there is. There's worldwide interest in ayahuasca, and people are just interested in weird stuff anyway. <br /><br />Hang in there, I'd say. In 9 months' time you can always make a concerted campaign to find a publisher if you're not selling many. In the meantime, I agree - do a bit more promotion (if you can find the time - I know what it's like). Do book signings, get a Facebook page, maybe consider trying a pay per click ad to get in front of people's faces who are searching for something to do with ayahuasca (I might be able to help with this) and just pay, say, 50 cents a click. <br /><br />That's what I think, anyway. You've got this far, might as well keep going for a while and see where things get to. <br /><br />I bet there are bookshops in the UK that would want to take the book too.Piers Alderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03019443994105889561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36128951.post-8960686914587641792010-08-18T22:49:09.188-07:002010-08-18T22:49:09.188-07:00i think you're right on track. $1000 buck woul...i think you're right on track. $1000 buck would be nice in your pocket now but you're already doing the right thing. If they are willing to cover your costs to date then maybe a deal otherwise I'd keep doing what you're doing. Do make a kindle version and a pdf for instant download. do make a facebook page for the book and do invite all your friends to like it. do put up a few excerpts on your website with a link to buy.phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13303001979141937391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36128951.post-62850103467012746822010-08-17T17:28:46.165-07:002010-08-17T17:28:46.165-07:00No. Do not do it!
You will do better as you are.
Y...No. Do not do it!<br />You will do better as you are.<br />You should be getting $10 profit per book right now. even with such a huge invest, $1.00 is wrong.octopus.sunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04967022611751936935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36128951.post-12977583176573142582010-08-16T19:41:14.255-07:002010-08-16T19:41:14.255-07:00Sorry, published my comment before it was ready :...Sorry, published my comment before it was ready :)<br /><br />As I was saying:<br /><br />==================<br /><br />I understand your dilemma but am not entirely clear about the economics of the 2 options. And next Fall (2011?) seems like a long time to wait before book sales can resume...<br /><br />Besides your current readers recommending your book to their friends, what else are you doing to promote it? <br /><br />Are you interested in giving a talk/ book reading/ signing in NYC? If yes, let's talk and I'll help to organize it for you :)Kuchintahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217855663714315822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36128951.post-59758979318754814792010-08-16T19:36:57.056-07:002010-08-16T19:36:57.056-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kuchintahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217855663714315822noreply@blogger.com
