Deborah Woehr

I’ve never written a press release for a book and found it somewhat daunting at first. How do I write one? Lulu gave me a template to use, but I still needed to figure out the best angle that would attract readers. I’ve attached the result below. I’ll let you know how well it works.

Once the anthology becomes available at the major online book retailers, I’ll send out another press release with the links.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SAN JOSE, CA–October 18, 2006–Writer’s Blog Alliance has produced its first anthology, using the blog medium. Think of a blog as an online newsletter or website, where writers can communicate with their readers and vice versa.

The 2006 Writer’s Blog Anthology is a compilation of essays, poems, and short stories, written by the members of Writer’s Blog Alliance as well as other writers in the blogosphere. This is a multi-genre collection, composed entirely of posts and reader responses.

Deborah Woehr edited and compiled the 2006 Writer’s Blog Anthology to help herself and other independently published authors gain exposure and more readers for their blogs and books. The 2006 Writer’s Blog Anthology is available for purchase at www.lulu.com.

“Blogging has become a powerful tool for writers to reach their prospective readers on a global level,” said Deborah Woehr.
