People think that as an author of a book (
Quilts in the Attic: Uncovering the Hidden Stories of the Quilts We Love), I actually know what is going on with my book. I don't. I've heard other authors tell me the same thing so I know it isn't just me. I'll admit that I don't purchase many magazines anymore but I always flip through them to see what is happening. I was quite surprised to discover an ad for my book (photo) in the summer issue of
Art Quilting Studio magazine (page 139 on the page with "Art Management Policy"). By the way, I did purchase the magazine. Here are my questions and please know you cannot hurt my feelings so be honest; the more brutal the better.
1. If you purchased the magazine, did you notice the ad?
2. Does the ad make you want to purchase the book?
3. Do you know anything about the following women- Mary Lee Bendolph, Marie Webster, and Ruby Short McKim?
4. What do you think of the overall design of the ad?
Thanks! I promise to share my thoughts too but I don't want to taint your thoughts with mine. Bring it on!
