Justin's Author Newsletter for October 2024
Advertising Campaigns Launched!!!!
Hi Everyone;
Lots of news about the most exciting journey of my life to relate this month!
Firstly…
Yes, the book is published and now widely available at over 600 stores in the United States as well as Dymocks in Australia and all the other popular online booksellers.
Here’s the Dymock’s link:
My publisher’s digital content editor is dealing with a metadata issue with Koorong’s order fulfillment process it seems but my marketing coordinator there assures me it will soon be available there as well.
Some smaller bookstores and libraries in Australia I’ve approached to stock the title so it should be available there soon; hopefully more details on that in the next newsletter.
Operation Conquer America has begun too; with my publisher adding the book to the U.S. College library system. Uni philosophy, psychology, literature professors and the like will also be approached over the coming months. More headaches… I mean work for me.
To that end as well; a Barnes and Noble targeted U.S. interest based/demographic sponsored advertisement has been placed on facebook; designed to drive book sales and likes for my “Justin Brent Wallace - Writer” facebook page.
From what I can gather in the metrics available; the just launched advertisement is doing rather well so far.
Also, I’ve joined/been a member of some for a while “Atheist/Agnostic/Creation/Evolution etc” facebook groups and been sharing my story directly with their members and engaging calmly in sometimes heated (from their end) discussions about the journey/experiences in my book.
I’ve included a couple of photos here for reference regarding the types of discussions/objections they’re raising. Either way, I’m enjoying the chats and having loads of fun debating all the atheists at such places regarding my amazing journey detailed in the book.
Some of them are now reading the book and/or have watched the five minute video of the miracle/book trailer that has also been released this month and is available for you to view at the below links.
1 Minute Version (Not including the miracle re-enactment):
5 Minute Version (Including the miracle re-enactment):
I’ve also included here the marketing campaign banner we’ve had designed to help promote the book at forthcoming speaking events at schools, universities, youth groups and the like where I hope to share the miracle detailed above in detail and lead general discussions on the proof of God’s existence from a personal experience perspective. (As opposed to Christian Science/Moral/Ethical Law debate approaches etc)
To that end, I’ll shortly be approaching local and national media (I have the contact details of a national christian radio station that interviewed me when my feature film came out a few years ago.) looking to further raise awareness and debate the issues.
In the meantime, it’s all full steam ahead for the upcoming book launch / combined 50th Birthday Party.
If you’re at all interested, you’re welcome to come but let me know you’re coming; it’s at Wavell Heights Community Hall on Saturday the 9th November. Pot Luck Dinner at 6.30pm, Launch at 7.30pm, Cake/Party Games and the like from 8pm. Finish as late as 10pm. (I’m turning 50 not 30!)
All materials have arrived ahead of the launch too.
Here’s a pic. #What’sinthebox?
In the meantime, further additions have happened to my website; which I accept is rather ordinary in its layout currently. It will improve at some point when I have time.
Finally, tried to take Terry to the vet for his annual vaccinations… and this time he won the battle… as my bloody hand testifies… (Not that I’ve included that particular photo!)
All the best meantime with all your own projects and pets. ;)
