Many people have been emailing Merge Press asking how they can help promote me. Here are some ways you can help spread the word about me and Merge Press from the MergePess.com Street Team page:

• Ask your school, local public libraries and local bookstores to carry our books, and, after you do, why not send us a note telling us whom you contacted? We’ll reward you. We have goodies.
• Let us know about opportunities for readings, especially if there’s a reading series that may be a good fit.
• We have postcards that you can leave in all the right places in your neighborhood. Give us your address, and we’ll send them your way.
• If you have a website or list-serve, please mention us. We have HTML code for images that link back to our site that you can use, or we can sic an author on you arrange an interview with one of our writers or photographers for you. You can also earn a percent of sales you refer to us by becoming an artist affiliate.
• Add a signature line to your emails or posts that links to us.
• The next time you visit Amazon.com, submit a customer review of one of our books. Be sure to follow Amazon’s review guidelines.
• Share news about Merge or our books on message boards you frequent, if that is permitted by the moderator.
• Read our books in public. In a really obvious way. Feel free to “ooh” and “ahh” out loud. We like that.
• Gossip about us. We can take it.
• Make our books part of your reading group selections, and call your local bookstore to make sure they have enough copies in stock for everyone in your group.
• Feeling your exhibitionism lately? Send us pictures of yourself and our books or just our books visiting strange and interesting places.
