This was the response from "pa-la.org" as a result of my asking to pass out a come-on to their members for a coop table for the LA Times Fair in April of 2010. He wants to see how big my house is, I guess. I also listed it on the GLAWS Bulletin Board and they immediately reminded me that they have a table. IWOSC was forwarding it to their President for review, they also reminded me that they have a table. Since this guy is in IWOSC as well. I will probably not get it seen there either. I looked up the Lifetime Achievement Foundation he says he is a Director of and its basically a come-on site for his own books and plays. Welcome to the world of the writer's hype. I thought I'd just go over to next month's meeting and put it on everybody's windshield.
I will discuss this with Sharon later today. My inclination is negative until I see a fully operational website, and confirm successful statistics. I am always looking for ways to promote our member publishers, but I am very careful about costs versus success. I know you understand.
Can you direct me to a working website and send successful statistics that can be confirmed? A one-page powerpoint does not tell me anything.
Thanks.
Best,
