Thank You, Readers!
Though we did fall short of the goal for our mid-year fundraiser, we want to thank all the readers who were able to contribute.
There also are other actions that readers can take that will help us continue to produce the investigative-style reporting that you see at Consortiumnews.com.
Purchases of Neck Deep at the publisher’s Web site (http://www.neckdeepbook.com) will continue to generate a $5 rebate to support our journalism, but we also will get a $1 rebate for each book sold through retail outlets, such as Amazon.com or bookstores.
So, it would be a huge help if readers could ask their local bookstores to stock Neck Deep (which is distributed by Baker & Taylor Books) or to get some of the chains (Borders, Barnes & Noble) to contract directly with the publisher, The Media Consortium, (e-mail: neckdeepbook@aol.com).
Book recommendations from customers have a very strong impact on retail outlets.
Libraries also could be contacted and urged to put Neck Deep on their shelves.
And, if readers enjoyed Neck Deep, they could post a review at Amazon.com or write one for a blog. Favorable reviews from readers online are the best kind of promotion, the modern equivalent of word-of-mouth advertising.
I also am available for media interviews about Neck Deep (and my other work). Just contact Diane Duston at DDuston429@aol.com.
Again, we want to extend our deepest thanks to our many loyal readers.
