This is your monthly bulletin with Tips & Tricks for Authors and Publishers.

Angie's Book of the Week
Starting June 1st, we will launch our weekly book promotion. VIPs and Publishers are the first to profit from this brand new initiative. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to get even more exposure for your books!

Angie's DIARY is a very powerful marketing tool that you should take full advantage of today.

Are You Wasting Money and Effort on Publicity?
“How to Sell Millions of Your Self-Published Book ” or “100 Top Tricks to Get Your Book on the Bestselling List.” Do these slogans sound familiar? Do you believe in miracles?

Sometimes it's hard to figure it out all by yourself. How can you be sure all your efforts and hard-earned money are not wasted on useless schemes? Whom can you trust? Why isn't anyone buying your book after all your efforts? The simple answer is: Because they don't know about it!
