Pay it Forward: Random Act of Publicity Week

We've always been told that it's better to give than receive, to pay it forward, and to essentially be generous to others. So why don't we do this in the writing world? Author Darcy Pattinson has addressed this issue with Random Acts of Publicity Week. From September 7-10, writers can participate in this "holiday" by reviewing friends' books on Goodreads, posting to their blogs, buying books, or doing generous things to promote others' works. September is always a productive month what with returning to school and work, so why shouldn't we all try to read a good book and post something nice about it somewhere, suggest it to a friend, or write a positive review on  Goodreads. So take some time now to read a book and prepare to pay it forward.

More details can be read on Darcy Pattinson's website. (Note, the banner displayed is Darcy's and does not belong to me.)
