"Can you reach freelancer writers? Let's make a deal!" Famed copywriter and business book author Bob Bly announced in his email newsletter this week that he's got 2,600 remainder copies of his book Write More, Sell More and he'd like to make a deal with any publishers of ezines that reach freelancers to sell them. To contact Bob, email rwbly@bly.com

So many authors do have their own email lists these days, that it's a clever idea for any publisher about to send leftovers to the remainders pile to ask the author if they'd like to publicize the offering to their own list first. You go Bob!
