This first message is a request for your help. 

 

I am now building an email address book that will be used to promote the books published by Airship 27 and their creators.

 

As an artist or writer for Airship, my hope is that you will send me the name(s) and (if possible) email address of any print publication (especially your home town newspaper(s)) or on-line site that you wish to receive news releases about your work. This will greatly speed up my work on creating that address book.

 

As an artist or writer or supporter of Airship, I ask that you consider sending out some version of what follows to personal friends who might be interested in being added to our list:

 

Hi (name). As a (writer, artist, fan) of the new pulp books published by Airship 27, my hope is that you'll want to be added to their email list to receive news releases from this great publisher.  If so, all you need to do is send an email to Michael Vance, their Marketing Director, asking to be added to that list. His email address is MikeVance@Yahoo.com. I also hope you'll pass this message on to any of your friends who might be interested as well.

A FAN'S COMMENTS

We here at Airship 27 Productions love receiving letters from our readers.  Here is one from fan Sarah Shepherdson regarding our latest release; ROBIN HOOD - Freedom's Outlaw by I.A. Watson and her enjoyment of our other classic heroes.

"Quick note to say how much I'm enjoying Airship 27's output these days. Big fan of lots of classic characters, especially Sherlock Holmes, Robin Hood, Sinbad. Excited to see there are writers and editors out there who "get" what makes them great.

Very happy with my latest books for you, esp. the Robin Hood one. I loved the payoff on that, worth the wait. Tell I.A. Watson he's really understood what makes those characters tick. A definite winner.

Also tell Rob the artist that he knocked this one out of the park ;-) I really like his period work, like on this one and Sherlock Holmes. He really catches moods.

Keep up the good work. I always check your Flight Log to see whats coming up and I buy what I can afford. Jazzed about the Houdini you mentioned on your blog."

Sarah
