The Clean Industrial Revolution Book Signing And Social Media Experiment
There has been a lot of media attention about Ben McNeil’s ‘The Clean Revolution’ recently including John Hewson’s article for the ABC’s Unleashed which attracted a large number of vocal comments. Jeremy LeBard (from Booktagger) and I attended Ben’s book signing event at UNSW bookshop and in this impromptu conversation Jeremy talked to Ben about some of the things authors can do using social media channels:
What is next in this Social Media in Publishing Experiment? We would like to track the conversations people are having about the book — thanks to everyone who took part in the poll #CleanRev was the winner so please add #CleanRev to your twitter stream conversations.
Blogs: If you would like to review ‘The Clean Industrial Revolution’ in return for a signed copy you can sign up below. We currently have several people reviewing the book, and a link to the reviews will be compiled over the coming weeks.
If you would like to know more, Ben gave a short video overview of his book at the signing:
You can buy the book at Allen&Unwin website here, and quote #CleanRev in the promotional code box to claim the discount. [A note on the discount: Allen&Unwin currently charge postage and packaging so we have upped the discount to 33% to make sure that the book comes in under retail price and in effect you don't pay for postage.]
