Amnesty International
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This quarterly magazine covers the world of international politics, human
rights, and related issues. There are two major ways to get mentioned
in this magazine: 1. Write an article for them (or have a story excerpted
from your book), and 2. Get your book reviewed. Their spring 2007
issue featured a review of Thomas Jackson's Civil Rights to Human
Rights: Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Struggle for Economic Justice.
It also featured an article on criminal inheritance by Matthew McAllester,
author of Beyond the Mountains of the Damned: The War Inside Kosovo.

How to Create a New York Times Bestseller
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On Tuesday, April 10th, 8:00 p.m. Eastern, I'll be hosting a two-hour
teleseminar on how to create a New York Times bestseller. The system
I will be describing on this teleseminar is a proven method of getting a
book on the New York Times bestseller list. During the teleseminar, I'll
be describing a step-by-step method for getting your book on that list
-- and by extension -- onto the front shelves of every bookstore in
America. Front and center, discounted, prime placement -- all yours for
the asking.
If you want to sign up for this step-by-step, full-disclosure seminar, go
to http://www.bookmarket.com/nytbests.htm. On that page are listed all the bonuses you will received as part of this teleseminar program.
Question: Is this program just for new books or can it be done for any
book? My book came out in May 2005.
Answer: It can be used for any book no matter how old, but you do
have to have bookstore distribution in place. That doesn't mean your
book is in the stores now, but you have to have access to the stores.
If you believe that your book deserves to be on the New York Times
bestseller list, then you need to hear this teleseminar. More info at:
