- Parent Category: Case Studies
A lot of self-published books sell well when they first come out, only to have sales go flat a few months later. That has not been the case for Cooked to Death: Volume II - Lying on a Plate. With the help of RMA Publicity, the book has stayed in the spotlight.
Shortly after its Oct. 2017 release, we secured a mention in the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Book editor Mary Ann Grossman called the title "A tasty candidate for an under $20 gift" when she featured the title in her column the day after Thanksgiving. Articles have also apppeared in the hometown newspapers of several of the authors of the foodie anthology (Enterprise, Mankato Free Press, Union Times); and RMA Publicity has already arranged two book tours for this title.
The first tour took place in Fall 2017 at locations in Minnesota. The second tour is planned for Spring 2018 and will have stops in North Dakota, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Iowa and Nebraska.

One Year Lived (Book Launch & National Book Tour)

- Parent Category: Case Studies
BACKGROUND
One Year Lived is Adam Shepard's accounting of the year he spent living abroad, immersing himself in other cultures. He says living with people from other cultures and backgrounds gave him a good understanding of where people are coming from, and he recommends it's something other young people do as part of their education. "It's fascinating the perspective we can gain when we step out of our bubbles of comfort, even just a little bit," he says.
RMA Publicity prepared a press release for the book, set up a national book tour, and also secured more than 25 media placements to promote the book and tour. The book officially launched on April 23, 2013.
