Quest for Recognition of a Father’s Invention
Herman L. Grimes, Jr.
ISBN #978-0-9815783-1-6 U.S. $13.00
“Quest for Recognition of a Father’s Invention” is about an unsung African-American hero. It is a son’s journey to uphold his father’s legacy. Hermon L. Grimes, Sr., is one of the nation’s best-kept secrets. Mr. Grimes developed the official patent for FOLDING WING AIRCRAFT. U.S. Patent Office Number 2,137,486. The new folding wing aircraft was used extensively in the Pacific theater during World War II. Upon the attack of Pearl Harbor, it was made clear that the Japanese Navy had gained air superiority over the U.S. Navy. This handicap was quickly overcome by the implementation of folding wing aircraft on naval carriers. Hermon L. Grimes helped to revolutionized aviation.
Herman L. Grimes, Sr. received a Purple Heart, yet he died with a broken heart without receiving recognition or compensation for his invention. This is a must-read book for all who seek to right the wrongs of history. Available through Milligan Books (click here).
How to Work With Your Book Marketer
These are great suggestions from a top marketer!
From Gina Johnson Smith - Author Marketer
Do’s
Tell them your schedule & where you’re speaking.
Give them ample time to process your requests and return your phone calls.
Tell them things that come across your desk or emails that would help them get the word out for you. They can’t be everywhere all the time.
Tell them if you get a good response from an interview.
Tell them your “wish” list of media interviews and hosts you’d like to talk to and WHY.
Give them as much background on you as possible: schools, awards, speaking engagements, places of employment (any place where there have been gatherings of people that know you or about you).
Help other author friends. You reap what you sow. Look out for others.
Keep a database. Everywhere you go and speak – start a mailing list.
Send personal thank you notes to the media. Keep in touch with them – but don’t be annoying.
Give them ideas. Discuss new publicity angles. Marketers work with a variety of clients and they appreciate clients that are engaged in their marketing process and can see natural opportunities that they might miss.
Give them good materials to work with: a great book cover, a good head shot, a great book title and great endorsements. Have a good business card too (with photo if possible).
Be nice to the media and get rid of the “entitlement” attitude.
Remember to say your book title and website several times during the interview.
Follow the advice, suggestions and recommendations of your marketing team.
Let your Marketer know your expectations right from the beginning.
Be consistent!
Make a positive confession about your marketing campaign and ask for prayer from your “inner circle”. They’re your “cheerleader” and intercessor.
Research & know your market and ask them what “buzz” they have heard about your book and what you could do to improve.
Critique your interviews and constantly improve your “sound bites.”
Don’ts
Ignore interview requests.
Don’t take credit for your “media” success – know that it’s God that orchestrates everything and a team that helps you LOOK good.
Don’t lie or over exaggerate the truth to the media. They check you out anyway.
Assume that the media will give you copies of the story or the interview. Ask before the interview begins, or better yet, tape them yourself and/or subscribe to their periodical/newspaper via the website.
Be a lone ranger. Connect with other writers/authors/speakers. Go to other author’s book signings. You reap what you sow.
