In addition to sending review copies of your book to our relevant media and industry contacts, we will send up to thirty additional copies to "influencers" you know in a one-time promotional mailing within ten days of your book's release. Simply provide us with a list of current names, organizations and addresses for people you believe would be influential in the promotion and sale of your book. (These could include leaders/members of professional organizations to which you belong, local bookstore owners/buyers, local or regional church leaders, etc.)
