Also look into developmental challenged service providers. It’s a small niche but there are outlets rather than just the general public.

Hi Maryann,
I do a radio show on blogtalkradio.com/aut_toknow and I would love to have you on to do an interview with you about your book and your experience. I have a small but growing audience, but it would certainly help get the word out. I am a mother of 3 on the autism spectrum so anything I can do to help a fellow mother out, I will. Contact me at aut.toknow@gmail.com

Mary Ann:

You need to reach out to two huge segments of bloggers: mommy bloggers and home-schoolers. Go to Google and search for “top 20 mommy bloggers” and see what you find. Also, “Top 20 home-school bloggers.”

Make sure you visit their blogs and post a comment or two before you pitch. And, of course, make sure the blog is a good fit with the book.

A former colleague of mine quit her job so she could concentrate on her son with this disability. I’m getting her this book for Christmas.

My university alumni e-newsletter (GWU, Columbian College of Arts & Sciences) just had an article on a professor whose son was diagnosed with autism and he has also just written a critically acclaimed book – I’m sure your high school, college, or university would LOVE to hear about your accomplishment. Not just a local girl does good story, but one that can help other parents too – and targeted to an educational field but with a different angle. Maybe include special needs schools which have newsletters for parents? I’m sure their advertising rates if they even have them would be very cheap. Best wishes, and I admire you for the work you’ve done for and with your son.

I would look at promoting with Children service offices because they are ones that have foster parents that may foster Autistic children. Also look into developmental challenged service providers. It’s a small niche but there are outlets rather than just the general public.

Hi Mary Ann,

You should be writing articles and submitting them to the top parenting and health websites, blogs, ezines and article directories — as well as focus on those sites that deal with autism specifically. For example, you should target About.com Autism.

You can be writing articles such as:

1. How My Son…
2. Top 3 New Therapies for Autism You Should Know About
3. Top 7 Parenting Tips for Parents of Autistic Children

I recently published an article on 10 different article templates that you can use. It can be found here at SiteProNews.com:

Contact Care Trak. (You can find them online.) They sell tracking devices for those afflicted by Alzheimer’s and autism. They might share their mailing list with you, or even promote your book as part of their service.
