Should an author be selective with the media and go on everything? The answer to that question is almost, definitely yes, unless of course it is a fringe hate group sponsored event or show. The truth is every set of ears and eyes you do want to reach. Whether its Oprah, or an Internet radio show, or local programming, it is all good. It is all word of mouth. I am a big believer in "Being Out There", because being out there leads to more being out theres. Here is a case in point. Author Dr. Molly Barrow last month, was on Fox TV - There she met a wonderful woman, who is also an author, and has her own radio show on blogtalk radio, Inez Bracy. The two authors have a lot to share, and yesterday Dr. Barrow appeared on Inez's radio program. For an hour Inez interviewed Dr. Barrow about her new book, Malia & Teacup, Awesome African Adventure, a children's adventure book that teaches self esteem to ages 9 and up, and other psychological topics as well. With callers phoning in and asking questions and comments after the show Inez received, the overall experience for Dr. Barrow was very positive. How many people did she reach? Not many, but the exposure may lead to something else, and the word of mouth is again a huge reason to "Be Out There." When you participate in a media event you never know who is listening. This is a good thing.
Barringer Publishing has launched two new exciting children's books by Dr. Molly Barrow. The reviews are coming in - "These are the kinds of books that parents and teachers as well as kids, have been seeking."
