Books & Authors - September 2006

I had my first booksigning a few nights ago and I met a book publisist there. She gave me her card. It sounds like an exciting idea, but I get the feeling it's going to cost some money. Talent agents(for actors) aren't supposed to get paid until you get work, but then they are charged with the task for getting you work. Publisists are responsible for handling the marketing and getting you media interviews and the like, so that's a bit different.

I guess want I'd like to know is how much money should I expect to be paying? Have any of you ever hired a publisist before? Should I just forget about it?

I need a good pen name. My mind suddenly drew a blank today for some reason. I write mostly yaoi, so I'm not quite sure what kind of a name I want. Nothing too innocent. Heeelp!
