Amazon and C-Span: Tips for Increasing Exposure for Your Book

My husband, Lance Johnson, author of What Foreigners Need to Know About America From A to Z (http://amzn.to/ForeignersAmericaUS) offers this link for those who have nonfiction books related to public policy, government, politics and the like. C-span, just like bloggers and feature editors, needs material. It won't be an easy sell if you don't have a well-known name, but you owe it to your book to try. Here is the URL: http://www.booktv.org/

And while we're at it, does anyone know the names of people at C-SPAN our SharingwithWriters blog readers might contact, or tips to approaching them. Please leave a comment if you do.

Lance also says this Amazon link will help you search to see if your book is appearing on all the overseas Amazon bookstores: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=487250

While you're visiting each page, check to see if you have "likes" there, if you have any reviews, if your book's description is complete, all the other things I tell you to do with your Amazon page in The Frugal Book Promoter (www.budurl.com/FrugalBkPromo) .
