As a writer getting referenced in a magazine, newspaper or book can be pretty cool. I thought it was pretty cool the first time I saw Donald Trump talking about my books in his business books. But my books also have been in newspapers:
The News Tribune
The Olympian
etc.
Magazines:
The Journal of Electronic Defense
(June 2007)
The Publisher's Weekly Cover Story
(April 2009)
The Parenting Magazine
(November 2005)
VOYA, Children's Writer, Children's Bookshelf, Library Journal, School Library Journal, etc.
Printed reference books:
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Elves and Fairies
(June 2005)
The Ancient Art of Faery Magick
(Sept 2005)
Popular Series Fiction for Middle School and Teen Readers: A Reading and Selection Guide
(Jan 2005)
Popular Series Fiction for Middle School and Teen Readers: A Reading and Selection Guide
(Dec 2008)
etc.
On radio:
12-city radio tour starting in Boston
(Mar-Apr 05)
NPR (Apr 05, May 09, Aug 10, Sep 11)
On TV:
CNN (June 98)
So how about you? If you're a writer where's the coolest place your books have been and how did it help your writing career? Blog about it, comment here, whatever.
The biggest boost I ever got from such a feature was after CNN. I walked into a Border's store and found several of my books stacked floor to chest high (of course they were 1,000 page books so that was maybe 50 books but still very very cool).
Thanks for reading,
Robert Stanek
