Beschreibung
• Svenonius's previous book, Supernatural Strategies for Making a Rock 'n' Roll Group, has been a great, steady, evergreen seller for Akashic. We have just ordered our third printing.
• Very strong gift book potential.
• Svenonius will be very involved in the promotion. He is truly an icon in the underground rock world and this new book, like his previous ones, should have a very long life. The author also tours nonstop, which will help. In addition to his touring, we booked over 30 book events for his last release, and will do a similarly ambitious book tour for this essay collection.
• Akashic is very tied into the punk/indie music world and have had great success in this area.
• Publicize to major dailies, weeklies, literary publications, alternative publications. Major radio and television push.
• Targeted outreach to music publications (print & online); strong focus on alternative radio stations and NPRs.
• Akashic's promotion will have a strong social media component.
• Giveaways on Goodreads, LibraryThing, and through Advance Access.
• Galleys (and e-galleys via Edelweiss) available in June.
• Display & giveaways at BEA & ALA.
• Promotion on the author's website and social media.
