  • I don’t even have a contract finalized on my 2nd book but I’m already thinking – who will I ask for blurbs? Hard to decide who. I don’t want to use the same people every time etc etc. How well do you think you need to know the person you are asking?

    Sorry about the tendons! I have to watch my poor feet because I get plantar fascitis 🙁

  • I think that you should ask people you have at least some relationship with – otherwise you might never hear back! On this second book, I did want to ask different people than the first book, and also I wanted the people on the blurbs to reflect the subject matter and style – so I asked an expert on Japanese pop culture to blurb it, for instance. Most of the people I asked I don’t know well, but I had e-mailed with them or had other kinds of contact.

  • That is great that you found a pop culture person to do a blurb 🙂 I’m really not sure who I want to use for the second book but definitely want to go with different people so i don’t wear out people!!

  • I have two haibun in my first book. One near the beginning of the manuscript, and one near the end.
