Days later, a glory-seeking 'Emir' broadcasts to the world that he is planning a massive terrorist strike against a U.S. landmark. And he gives a time line of one month.

Well, it took me a while, an amount of time that I'm sure is way longer than most, to get this blog up and running. BUT, I am now all set and ready to go! I really appreciate everyone's help and guidance as I beat my head against my keyboard in frustration!Please update your records to reflect this as my new working blog. The previous website will be dismantled soon.I will no longer be using the email address: lroe@onlinepublicist.net, and will now only work from onlinepublicist@gmail.com.I will use this site as a way of communicating, in a more efficient way, with bloggers and online writers. I will post links to reviews for my projects, thoughts I may have, and follow-ups I am conducting. It will be going through several changes over the next couple of weeks as I muddle through all these new gadgets. :-)I am so looking forward to utilizing this new outlet with all of you! Please feel free to comment with thoughts, questions, or suggestions of any kind!

Hello and welcome to my site! I am an online book publicist. I connect people who write online with the books that I am working on. I represent the publisher, distributor, or author of a book and work to find various outlets online for them. I work a little different than most. I am actively involved online and take a very personal approach to my work, reading people's content and familiarizing myself with the interests of the bloggers I work with. Did I mention that I love what I do? :-) I have many wonderful relationships with bloggers and I hope to add you to that list!Please take a look around the Current Projects list. If you are interested in receiving a copy for review on your site/blog, let me know and I will send one your way. (Please remember to include your URL in your message to me.) I will work with you and your schedule to come up with a general review date. I will never attempt to control or manipulate your content, I just ask that all reviews be fair and balanced. I am also interested in instituting alternatives to traditional reviews when appropriate. Book giveaways, contests, interviews, and guest posts are always a possibility.Please bear in mind that my clients and I are U.S. based. I have some leeway with sending books overseas and will happily do that if I am authorized to do so by my client. Feel free to contact me with your location and the title you are interested in. I will do my best to get titles of interest to you and will keep you posted on the outcome.Feel free to contact me if you have any questions/requests. I hope to work with you soon!Best,Lisa Roe

Hello and welcome to my site! If you are a publisher, distributor, or author who is interested in exploring alternatives to traditional publicity, congratulations on taking the first step. This world is new and scary for some, but I hope I can explain that hiring me to help supplement your publicity efforts will benefit you, and your overall standing in the publishing world. What I do is find online buzz for books. The addition of blogs and social networking, have made publicity more accessible and personal. There are 50 million + blogs in the world, and bloggers form tightly knit, loyal communities. They trust one another's thoughts and opinions, support each other's actions, and update their groups through extensive networks. This is where publicity is going. Newspaper subscriptions are down. People listen to preprogrammed music. One blogger told me how he recently spoke at a convention that discussed public relations and blogging. He referred to me as 'the best PR person he's ever worked with 'because I actually read his content and know what he is about'. I enjoy taking the time to make certain that what I am offering will be of real interest to the reviewer instead of blasting with spam and hoping for the best. With this approach, much research and hundreds of emails, I have befriended many of the bloggers in this world. There are hundreds of bloggers who comment on books and whose reviews are well respected online. Bloggers are eager to get their hands on books to talk about. Since these sites are individually managed, it is much easier to form a relationship with them and maintain follow-ups than it is through traditional publicity avenues. If hired to represent you, I will contact people online and send a weekly update with a mailing list of where books should be sent. Having the books shipped directly from you helps keep my fees down. I then manage all follow-ups, and alert the client when reviews are posted. Project costs vary based on the size and length of a project. Email some materials to me and I will let you know what I think! Looking forward to working with you soon, Lisa Roe
