Mystic Women of Salem

Good day everyone!

The cyber wizard and I met last week and discussed our media blitz campaign strategy for the promotion of the project. Instead of changing the color and appearance of the blog, printing posters and cardstock for immediate distribution we decided to wait. Our strategy is to do the aforementioned in September, 2011 when hundreds of thousands of people desend upon Salem for the October festivities. I am sure that a number of the shoppes will allow us to place the pr materials in their stores during this time. We most certainly will be distributing in Boston, and New York City as well. Why are we doing all this so early in the game? As the Project Manager, William, told me in the beginning planning stage of MWS, it is critical that we reach the masses and develop support BEFORE the agent/publishing house becomes involved. The more that is done the better! The entire book will be done and I will have an original printed for their review. This gives the project an immediate advantage, in that they can SEE what we are producing versus just telling them (a great disadvantage). This is the primary difference between literary and photography publishing. So, your information that accompanys you in the Mystic Women section of the blog should be done by then, for sure.

Also, I have to tell you that William is already beginning to see that we are fast approaching a "bottle-neck" situation due to the procrastination/delay of women getting their drafts (stories) to him. We are coordinating the story submission and shoots together now. If you have not been shot don't worry...if you have, you must get your drafts to him asap. Upcoming shoots (8-10) over the summer...if you are scheduled you need to be thinking about your story NOW. If you need guidance/help please contact William at foxhagen@hotmail.com

Let's avoid a terrible situation by staying on schedule which will lead to a much less "stressed" environment. I want this project to be excellent, professional, inspiring, successful, and FUN with the least amount of stress possible.

Thanks ladies and enjoy your Patriots Day Holiday! :}


PS - Please encourage everyone you know to become a FOLLOWER OF THE BLOG, I cannot emphasize enough how very important this is.
