Blue Dingo wants YOU! – Guidelines for submission and other news.

Blue Dingo Promotional Network

Hello Book industry people.

I hope you are firing on all pistons and filled with inspiration.

Here at Blue Dingo HQ we are all paws on deck. You may be aware of the recent separation of promotions and news from our other HQ, Bug in a Book. This means that the up coming Bug in a Book emagazine is Blue Dingo-less. But don’t worry we are merely creating our very own Blue Dingo emagazine in between the Bug in a Book issues. I hope to have the Blue Dingo emagazine bi-monthly in the not too distant future.  Our first new emagazine is also the first for 2012 and will be released on the 25th of January.

We are now calling for you to consider contributing to the emagazine, with Christmas just around the corner we thought it best to give you ample warning. Blue Dingo as you know is for everyone in the book industry so if you have any news, events, stories to tell or questions to ask, or just want to share your journey, please drop us a line at buginabook@bigpond.com with BLUE DINGO SUBMISSION in the subject line. Blue Dingo is for you and by you so please feel free to take full advantage of these emagazines and the promotions they offer. Our marketing reach is growing everyday with twitter, Facebook, google plus, and all those social media’s full of eager and interested people.
