    I'm not sure if this is against the rules, since this is technically promoting, but it's nothing on this site, or nothing that will be on this site.

    I have a book coming out within the next few months and, for the most part, I've been looking for people to help market it. This would involve banners, links, mentions, etc. on your blogs and/or social networks. It's really a matter of just getting the word out about my upcoming collection.

    So... yeah. If anyone's interested and/or would like to help, I'd really appreciate it. And if this is against the rules, I apologize.

    Here's the synopsis that will appear on the back cover:

    People love.

    It’s the way of the world. Hug your neighbor, kiss your lover, hold a hand or bear a child—every action comes with a consequence, and every consequence bears a reaction. In a world where people live, die, and give birth to the cycle of madness, affection is required to live a sane life.

    Or so they say.

    Take a trip to a cemetery, then fall in love with a bell; ride your bicycle down the street, then have your face cut open by a beautiful woman; fall in love with a monster and play the benevolent god to creatures that cannot understand you. These are amorous things, these acts of violence, and they wouldn’t be committed if they didn’t care about you.

    Welcome to a world of madness.

    Welcome to a world of affection—a world of amorous things.

    I offer my help. Could also add a mention to the next issue of Eclectomatic Ezine, out any time now.

    You story sounds quite interesting and may appeal to my "target audience"

    What kind of mention/add would you be looking for, Jim?

    It's a short story collection.

      I can provide what ever sort of advertising you want. Send me a copy and I'll write a review Seriously, if you want banners, you got it. I can mention it in my blog and add links etc. Make me an offer, I'll consider.

        I'm not sure how exactly I'm going to do ARCs, but would a kinkos/handbound copy be all right with you?

        I'll get back to you on that, Jim--thanks!

    I'm still working on my zine I'm hoping to have it up and running by the end of the month, might take a bit longer. We could run like an excerpt and have the URL for where to buy the book. I'm not opposed to that. But I don't really have a deadline for when mine will be pushed out, but we're a short story fiction zine so sounds like your stuff will fit in with the rest of the work.

    If you just want to make an advertisement that works too. However you wanna do it.

    If you're down email me what you want in it or what you'd like it to look like. But I can't promise punctuality on this thing. I'm working with a shoestring budget here and I'm pretty much the only one working on this thing. But if you don't care about that I'm more than happy to get the word out for you.
