Subject: [ACADEMIC-STUDY-MAGIC] Ideas for places to send my book for review.
Hi peoples,
I have recently signed the contract and done all the bits and pieces for
my first book "Sign of the Witch: Modernity and the Pagan Revival". In
my "Author's package" from the publisher is a form which asks for
additional magazines and journals etc where people might be interested
in having review copies etc. I've of course included the journals in
which i have published (The Pom', Nova Religio, Journal of Religion and
Popular Culture, Inter-cultural studies, Quadrant etc) and a list of
some others with publications like The Cauldron, Pagan Dawn etc. The
publisher also has its own avenues to explore but being a niche area I
have figured any assistance is welcome in helping sales etc.
Are there any other avenues I should consider exploring that people can
think of? The book itself traces the rise of the modern configurations
of the term "Witch" from its antecedents in the early modern period,
through the Enlightenment, Romantic revolts and onto the present etc.
It is an academic book but I have taken pains to write it in an
accessible style.
Any suggestions are very welcome being VERY new to the whole
publishing/author game.
David
