Hello, Readers and Friends:
Here is an update about Nowhere Else I Want to Be: A Memoir, coming out in November 2016.
COVER: we have chosen the final cover design. I’m excited about how it looks, and will show it to you in a (near) future update. In the meanwhile, special thanks to Emily Davis McCollum, whose painting of Miriam’s House is featured.
MANUSCRIPT: I am now reviewing the second copy-edit and trying not to let myself realize that when I send it back, the book will be beyond the reach of my obsessive re-readings for making changes and finding mistakes. Gulp.
MARKETING: Inkshares has the book in the fall catalog soon to be promoted by sales staff to bookstores around the country.
PRE-ORDERS: I have not been seeking pre-orders since hitting 750, but will rev up my efforts once the cover is finalized.
IF YOU WANT TO PROMOTE NOWHERE ELSE I WANT TO BE:
1. Post this update to Facebook with a comment recommending it to particular friends.
2. Email the link to my author page (below) to friends, family, colleagues and people who are interested in social justice, AIDS, and women’s and race issues.
3. Tell your favorite bookstores about it: they can order it wholesale through Ingram IPS or the Inkshares Fall List.
3. Order extra copies and get a head start on your Christmas 2016 shopping.
Thanks, everyone, and Happy Spring!
Carol
