Ki, Isabelle, Vim and Urmilla met today.
We began to develop a marketing plan according to iUniverse guidelines. We came up with some benefit statements:
“If you enjoy travel and cultural diversity this is a book for you!”
“Stories to touch your heart and make you chuckle …” “Stories in which the reader will find herself”
“Citizens of the world – This book will take you on a fascinating journey!”
“The taste of a dozen cultures wrapped in this book of stories!”
“Stories for the global nomad”
“Short stories for the lazy reader”
“This book makes an excellent present”
