Midwest Book Review
Deftly written and superbly presented, "Online Book Marketing" should be considered mandatory reading for any author and all publishers seeking economic viability and financial success for their literary efforts and publishing endeavors.

Few these days are blessed to sign lucrative contracts with publishing houses that take an author's work to market and nurture their careers. Thanks to today's technology, the most novice and humble among us can aspire to success in print by using our laptops and following Phillips's roadmap for do-it-yourself online book marketing. To establish a brand, set up an author site, write and maintain a blog, optimize one's online profile, participate in Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn and craft a recognizable public persona, some may decide to hire experts like Phillips while others may choose to do it ourselves. Either way, Phillips shows us how it's done. Her book is invaluable for readers who want to become known as writers in an increasingly interconnected world where the sky's the limit and hope has wings.
