For those who are serious about promotion contact Thornton today to be a guest on "Around2It Talk Show." The cost for the fifteen minute webcast is only $25.00. All listeners need is Realplayer or Windows Media Player. Shows are taped then posted online.

Around2It has been around for almost four years and has national and international listeners!

Want to become a sponsor? Around2It would love to mention sponsors during the show and spotlight them on the Around2It page at Marguerite Press. I plan to put banners on the site and announce the sponsors at the top of the broadcast. The cost for that is $50.00 per month or $80.00 for two months. All potential sponsors need to do is contact me at: [email protected].

Around2It Talk Show is chock-full of information and insights! Would you expect less from the Queen of Promotion? Please visit the page at www.margueritepress.com/radio.html.

Airleaf

Here at Airleaf, our focus remains the same as always: we sell books to bookstores. However, because our publishing package includes free manuscript changes, 50 books for the author, and placing books on the shelves of 15 retail bookstores, more and more authors are publishing or republishing with Airleaf. The result? We're swamped. Our services are so popular, in fact, that we have to set a submission deadline for authors who wish to have their books finished before December 25th.

The deadline to publish by Christmas is Monday, July 31, 2006. We must have your manuscript and payment by that date to promise delivery by Christmas Eve. If you want your books before Thanksgiving, the time to start is NOW.

Of course, bookstores are already buying books for the holiday season. We need more books to sell, so:

SAVE 25% ON ALL BOOKSELLING SERVICES

We are discounting all of our bookselling services 25% across the board for the rest of June and the entire month of July! Take 25% off any service, in any combination, in any quantity.

This will be our biggest across-the-board discount for the rest of 2005, and your last chance to publish for the holiday season, too. Don't miss Christmas! Call us at 1-800-342-6068 or email [email protected].

PS As always, we will sell your book even if you published with another company.
