My First Give-Away !

I've been busy the last couple of days ending out press releases to as many people as I think will be interested to hear about my booklet - How to make Perfect Binding in 6 Easy Steps. First of all let me say self-publishing is going to be hard work I think.  Press Release sounds soo grand don't you think but I don't know what else to call it.  Knowing exactly what to put in the PR is another story. I use to work for a company called Xyratex where I was the Brand Manager for a short while before giving it all up to rear a family. While I was there we did several press announcements but we used a PR company to roll everything out for us.  Doing it all myself is going to be hard I know. I've already had one major internal battle telling myself  NOT to be scared to tell people I've written this piece of work. I feel like the Lion in the Wizard of Oz!
I'm not sure if its courage, self-confidence or balls I need -- or are they all the same? 

Anyway I have set some balls in motion thats for sure and I am hoping they can collect a few sales along the way. As a little encourage I have decided to do my first blog give-way. I have 2 downloadable pdfs to give away. If you want to leave a message for me on the blog here I will put your name into the hat for a drawing on Saturday 10th January. Of course if you really cant wait that long you can always download it straight away by clicking on the LULU link on the right hand side of the blog page!
