layton Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 and care to send my their contact info? I'm trying to get a book published and need reviews!!! Thanks, Mike Quote
ScaredSilly Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Just because they are a well known climber does not that mean they can read and write a book review. That said send me PM and I can ask a couple of very well known climbers who are friends who have been on the publishing end if they have anything interest. In the mean time, given you are asking for literary reviews you might want to at least be clear in what you want - "and care to send my their contact info?" Do you want someone to send your contact info to them or do you want us to send their contact info to you. It is not clear? Quote
marc_leclerc Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) Don Serl writes fantastic guidebooks and is on cc.com. Send him a PM. I had lunch with Dick Culbert a while ago too and he gave me his card. PM me if you would like his info. Edited November 3, 2008 by marc_leclerc Quote

layton Posted November 3, 2008 Author Posted November 3, 2008 pm's sent. I'm in the whoring stage of publication, so I'm trying to get some fancy well known climbers and / or authors to write a little blurb saying it's the best thing under the sun. -Mike Quote
pope Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 You've got my endorsement. I should probably read it first. Quote
jlag Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Mike PM me, i can pass on a name of famous climber who i work with. And he's a writer. JL Quote

I'm in the whoring stage of publication, so I'm trying to get some fancy well known climbers and / or authors to write a little blurb saying it's the best thing under the sun. -Mike Bridwell might do it but then again he might get the author's name wrong. Ask Ament for 10 words and you might get 10,000. Personally I think an agent might help you more than a couple of blurbs from has-been climbers. Quote
kevbone Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I can give you the contact info for Michael Layton does that help? No no....he said famous. Quote
denalidave Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 i'm famous! to, like, 10 people or so I think you meant INfamous? Quote
kevbone Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 i'm famous! to, like, 10 people or so Does that count your children? Quote
Peter_Puget Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I can rememebr a "famous" climber ridiculing a book he/she was asked to review. A few months later I saw his/her wonderfull endorsement on the back cover........ Quote
ivan Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 i'm famous! to, like, 10 people or so Does that count your children? depends what kind of a mood they're in no matter what, i rank far below the backyardigans - and rightly so, that austin is a cool cat... Quote
Mtguide Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Regarding Bridwell, he's actually not a bad writer himself, ("Tour de Force", about climbing Shiprock,in his book "Climbing Adventures", is a classic.) If you want climbers to buy your book, he'd be a great endorsement. Quote
wayne Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Wow welcome back Mt Guide/ Zac! I browsed The sections on tips and food and thought it was a great effort on our own Mikes' part! There are so many tips locals have developed over the years. There isnt a "climber" here that couldnt benefit from them! Sorry though, I dont know any famous climbers. Suggestions: Sean Issac , Roger Strong, Jim Nelson,Mark Westman,Vince Anderson, Steve House, Peter Potterfield, and Colin. Quote
