Bead & Wire Book Gets Publishing Press

One of the things I do to see who may be talking about me (or ripping off my content…urgh!) is to sign up for Google alerts for both my name and URL. This is a super easy way to find who is linking to you out there in the web world.

One of these alerts recently pointed me to Craftside, a weblog about crafting – obviously – which was talking about my book Making Designer Bead and Wire Jewelry. Needless to say, I was very happy to see it, and I sent the URL to some editors over at Quarry, the publishers of the book. Come to find out, they are the ones actually running Craftside. Along with book reviews, the blog editor, Stef, also has information about author book signings and related promotions concerning the books published by Quarry. Plus she sometimes just has fun project ideas, so it’s not all about promoting Quarry, which is nice to see.

I thought this was a very cool way for a publisher to help promote its authors’ works, and of course, the company, while they also engaging in the crafty web community.

Do you know of any other publishers doing something like this? Let me know. I’m very curious now.

Welcome to the Crafty Princess Diaries, my weblog and site where I get to blab about my passion for crafts, primarily jewelry making, and my crafting career. My name is Tammy Powley, and I decided to call my blog the Crafty Princess Diaries because of this very dorky picture I have of myself and because my husband often refers to me as β€œthe princess and the pea,” which is just another way to say that I tend to be particular sometimes. Along with this weblog, I have a number of jewelry making books published.
