V.M., I’ve linked to an article above that offers advice for finding fiction endorsers, but here’s the link so you don’t have to look for it: https://buildbookbuzz.com/who-should-you-ask-to-endorse-your-book/

Also, my training program mentioned at the end of the article above explains how to find them and what to say when you do. Here’s the link for that, too: https://build-book-buzz.teachable.com/p/blurbs-endorsements-and-testimonials

Sylvia, book promotion definitely takes constant effort. I’m sorry it’s been a frustrating experience for you.

Although there are eight reader reviews posted and more in the offing, I am disappointed in not getting any local print media coverage and have been discouraged from having book signings. There is a PR person with whom I worked in the past when I was the writer and he was the PR newbie who has agreed to write a comment, but it’s been a few months now and he hasn’t done so. I am giving up on continuing to make the request. While my book is light reading and entertaining, it does not have a hook to make it stand out as most books do today,ie: how to, heart warming memoir,intriguing mystery or the like, it is a book anyone with an interest in the men of the silver screen from 1930 through 2010 will find very intriguing. Kirkus charges a good deal for professional reviews and my budget is already strained.

Dana, it’s never too late to get book reviews. I’ve got someone on my team working with an author right now to generate reviews on a book that came out two years ago — and they’re coming in! What, specifically, are you referring to with the several hundred dollar fees, though?
