Sail Away Give-away!

Update #10 · Feb 13, 2013 · comment

Thanks to your support, Jack Beritzhoff's nautical memoir continues to sail away!

We've organized a book give-away on Goodreads.com -- you're invited to enter to win a free copy of Sail Away: Journeys of a Merchant Seaman, but you've got to enter today! 

Do feel free to pass this link on your friends, and also, if you're on Goodreads, we'd love it if you could review the book there -- or on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or any other book-related site that you frequent!

Again, thank you.

Sail Away - Sailing Successfully, Thanks to You!

Update #9 · Oct 10, 2012 · comment

It's been a little while since you've heard from me, but I wanted to give you an update, and to thank you once again for your help and support.

By now, you should have received the reward that you requested when you backed this project. If you haven't--or if you have any questions about the reward that you received, please feel free to contact me. I hope that you've enjoyed Jack's wonderful book.

We're continuing to market Jack's opus--looking to place portions in magazines devoted to maritime affairs, talking to columnists, reviewers, etc. There are a couple of things that you can do that would be incredibly helpful:

  • Obviously, if you know anyone in print or online publishing (or book sales) who might be interested in Sail Away, please let me know! I'll be very happy to follow up.
  • Just as importantly, review the book yourself! Potential readers appreciate the input of folks who've already read the book, so please add your thoughts on Sail Away's web pages on Amazon, iTunes/iBookstore, Barnes and NobleGoodreads, and anywhere you can think to spread the word about this lovely book.

Again, thanks! And if you--or anyone else--is looking to purchase a copy of Sail Away, the web page is easy: https://stillpointdigital.com/sail-away

D-Day is coming!

(As in "delivery day," of course.)

Thanks to the successful Kickstarter campaign, official publication of Jack Beritzhoff's Sail Away: Journeys of a Merchant Seaman takes place next Monday, August 6! 

I just heard from the printer, and the books have shipped, which means that those of you who were kind enough to fund us at the $25 level or higher, we'll soon be able to deliver your copies of the book.

We're very excited that this project has gone so smoothly, and very thankful for all of your support.

For any of you in the Bay Area, we're having a signing party at Folio 949 in Larkspur, California. For more information, visit the Facebook page for the event.

We hope to see you there!

David

PS It would be great, too, if you could "like" the book's official, newly-created Facebook page

I've just completed page layout and submitted the files for publication! Just wanted to tell someone that -- and you seemed like the folks who most deserved it.
