Renee's Book Talk On Blog Talk Radio

Aug. 29, 2008 - PRLog -- As the author of my first published novel I found out that marketing was my responsibility. Murder, Madness & Love, my first novel in a series is fiction. Fiction is difficult to market and almost impossible to get other mainstream radio personalities to take seriously. Therefore, I started Renee’s Book Talk on Thursday nights at 9:00 PM EST to give other authors and artists a tool for marketing their own work via Blog Talk Radio. I began my show on June 5th, and I provide a complete hour of discussion completely directed by the guest – there are contests giveaways – blogs and advertising done for a full week before the show and podcasts sent out after the show. The author / artist takes a hand in their own advertising and the listeners expand with each archive listen.

Blog Talk Radio is a social talk-radio network that hosts thousands of shows across all topics, including politics, sports, books, business, entertainment, health, paranormal, comedy and religion. Since the company’s 2006 launch, over 73,000 shows have streamed from Blog Talk Radio. The network attracts over 2.6 million listeners each month. Talkers Magazine recently posited both that “...Internet talk radio has been growing steadily" and "...a strong case can be made that Internet talk radio is rapidly on its way to being a major media movement in popular culture” in a recent article featuring Blog Talk Radio.

Blog Talk Radio is a new medium, and an outlet for you, your clients and their interests. We’re all looking for unique, credible approaches to joining the online conversation. My show on Blog Talk Radio is that innovative approach. Publishers Weekly has recognized Blog Talk Radio as a legitimate promotional tool in “Blog Radio Site Draws Authors” (http://www.publishersweekly.com/article/CA6515080.html).

Noted guests on the Blog Talk Radio network include Yoko Ono, Brad Pitt, Jeff Goldblum, John McCain, Brian DePalma, Soledad O'Brien, Evander Holyfield and Oliver Stone, just to name a few. More can be found at the Best of Blog Talk Radio (http://www.blogtalkradio.com/bestofbtr.aspx).
