Ever since I made the mistake of allowing someone to do an e-mail campaign for me (my agent suggested it might be a good idea), I have been bombarded with mail (both snail and e) from the same outfit. They change their name periodically. Perhaps because word gets out. Last year they were Airleaf. Now they are Author Celebrity Associates. And they offer instant fame! For money. The costs rise with every new campaign.
The latest bit made me sit up. The bold headline read: "Imagine The Hell Screen as a starred Review!"
(Now mind you, THE HELL SCREEN already has a starred review -- from PW and legitimate).
I'm being offered:
three professional reviews,
a guarantee of three new, impartial reviews, including Kirkus (what's up with Kirkus, I wonder)
a feature of my book and any past reviews on www.starredreview.com
a reading of the book and a written review from Author Celebrity Associates
and the posting of all reviews on five more websites, including amazon.
All this for a measly $ 1,500.00
They are miracle workers -- who apparently don't bother to check out the clientele.
Be warned!
