You have responded with a resourcefulness that educates us all about creative marketing, an effort that I hope, nay, trust, will soon be deservedly rewarded. Great stories often have to have an advocate, a superhero, willing to step in where others fear to tread. Editors: be brave, be bold, be first to say yes to this incredibly worthy story. Please. Marc has already built the market for you.Hester Basshttp://www.hesterbass.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611875170009784219.post-46058113603062080832011-10-07T01:06:42.067-04:002011-10-07T01:06:42.067-04:00I really like the title of your blog post.

Why not self-publish, through the infinite options and avenues now available? If you haven't already, check out Seth Godin's work - in particular, his Domino Project: http://www.thedominoproject.com/ - i think you'll find it pretty interesting.Jay Cohenhttp://www.prsponsors.comnoreply@blogger.com
