Thanks again to the people who left comments about favorite author swag.  It really does help to get feedback about what folks want to see.  As luck would have it, the great Paperback Writer blogged today about the conundrum of author promo, what works and what doesn’t:  http://pbackwriter.blogspot.com/2008/06/real-estate-of-self-promo.html

 From the comment trail in the Celebratory Swag post, it seems that you, the readers, overwhelmingly prefer books as swag.  Whether it’s a regular book, a sample book, an ebook, or even a short excerpt on a postcard, you want to get a sample of the writer’s talent to see if their world appeals to you.  Makes a lot of sense to me!

Is there any kind of author promo you find off-putting?  What should we writers NOT do? 

Thanks again for your input!
