Peter Shankman

As I was doing research I came across Peter Shankman's website, Help A Reporter.Com.

And it's totally fantastic! I submitted a query for published authors and have received about a thousand responses! Thanks to Peter we're going to be featuring 2 fantastic authors a month all the way through next year and that's only the first block - more still coming in every day!

On top of that it led us to create a really cool feature on the site called The Author Zone where publicists and authors can come and submit their book title and review for our visitors to see. It's totally free publicity and a great way to build a community of authors and readers looking to connect.

Here's Peter's blurb if you're interested in his site:
