@carkner <8 months from event to prepub press release — w/o a publisher.

While not unknown, that’s an aggressive schedule for someone still sitting as a #BCMLA. What is more unusual is a #newspaper allowing an author to publish an excerpt of a forthcoming book as an “opinion”. Paid placement is paid placement; advertising does not count as #journalism, #news, not even as a columnist.

I wonder who her #marketing firm is. And who is paying them. But I cannot possibly afford ’em.
