Thanks for popping across. No commission ...Jamie! Thanks for popping across. No commission necessary old chum. Happy to help. <br /><br />I've been a casting agent before but never considered being a literary agent...could be fun! Think I'll practice.<br /><br />Jamie for UK Best Seller Lists Challenge:<br /><br />Everyone, it's Friday today so if you've got a twitter account do me three small favours:<br /><br />1/ #followfriday Jamie (@JamieActual) <br />2/ #fridayreads Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet.<br />3/ Link to this post mentioning Jamie or the name of the book<br /><br />You can do 1 and 2 any/every week but it's important to do number 3 this week as I've been highlighted in an online publishing article today so there's a higher chance people connected with the literary world will click on links about me this week. <br /><br />I really want the buzz about Jamie's book to get stoked up over here in England as I'm uber annoyed that we seem to be the only place on the face of the planet where you can't wander into a book shop and pick up 'Hotel' so I wonder if we could get #jamiefordinUK to become a trending topic on Twitter. Any other 'Hotel' promoting ideas you can come up with that might land this amazing book on English bookshelves would be great.<br /><br />Ooh... just thought of one. What if we all just ran a post on our blogs entitled 'UK Book Shops Need Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet'? Cut and Paste it and just paste a link to his book on Amazon or something or back to this review. If we all put that as a heading, it would make its way up google and would appear in all the google feeds for publishers and book retailers in the UK. You all up for it? :)Rebecca Woodheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06553726565354166076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181450966846757835.post-32563176413758427832009-06-19T16:11:30.311+01:002009-06-19T16:11:30.311+01:00Okay Rebecca, now I'm going to have to pay you...Okay Rebecca, now I'm going to have to pay you a handsome commission if I ever sell the U.K. rights.
