Books Arriving…

Category: Blogging, Business, From My Life, Work, Writing — Jeremy Wright @ 2:29 pm

I’m getting reports from around the web of books arriving on reviewers doorsteps… Crazy. I don’t have mine yet. Maybe I should post an “unpacking ritual” post when I receive it? ;-)

    I think you have to establish yourself as a good reviewer first. I just received one this morning and already started reading. You can seek new authors first and review their books.

    Make sure you offer the box some coffee (or tea) and a trip to the bathroom before you open it. ;)

    Grats Jeremy. Is your publisher looking for new authors? I’m interested in writing a similar book. Well, not too similar :)

    Yeah…what Bill said… maybe you should start reviewing! Ahem. ;)

    Laffing at your response to Bill. I don’t want to, but I just can’t stop myself…

    On a more serious note, I’m a reviewer for Prentice Hall Linux books. Most of the authors I talk to haven’t received their copies even though I have one in my hot little hands.

    You already wrote it – you’re useless to them now :)

    I remember when my first book was published… my first copy arrived in the mail… no one was anywhere near me… and as I wandered down the dock (yes, I lived on a boat then) I kept wishing for a brass band.

    The cracking of the spine, the smell of the pages, the allure of the design, the name on the cover – you celebrate that book, man. You start planning your unpacking ritual.

    I suggest you involve egg nog. In some form.
