A Quickie Post: Targeted Resources for YOUR Radio Gig

This is the tip of the week from my last SharingwithWriters newsletter. It's just what you need for finding the person who wants you to talk to their audience. In other words, it's about finding radio shows and hosts who have the kind of fans you want for your book.  If you'd like more info like this right in your e-mail box, subscribe at http:://howtodoitfrugally.com/newsletter_copies.htm.

Those of you who love radio gigs will love Fran Silverman’s series of e-books that give resources for streaming radio. The information for each entry includes title of show, name of host, theme, where aired, guest criteria, e-mail, Web site, phone (optional), and best method of contact.

The one specifically for authors covers writing, editing, publishing, marketing, literary agents, Christian authors, author spotlights; genres include thrillers, suspense, action/adventures, novels, teen/YA, romance, poetry, science, historical, baseball, screenplays, songwriting.

For descriptions and prices of all 16 e-books (some of which may feature the theme or topic of your book), please visit http://www.talkradioadvocate.com

By the way, she also has a free newsletter you may want to sign up for.
