TOW Books: An Exciting New Sales Strategy!
Posted by Jane
Now it's time to talk about
TOW Books
. This is an imprint here at
F+W
that launched last fall, in partnership with John Warner of McSweeney's fame.
It's an imprint focused on humor.
We've discovered that humor is quite difficult to sell.
So we're giving books away, in their entirety, to help spark interest.
There are four titles we are now offering for free, as PDF downloads (you can also request free, physical copies)
:
Really, You've Done Enough
: A Parents' Guide to Stop Parenting Their Adult Child Who Still Needs Their Money But Not Their Advice by Sarah Walker
Oh, the Humanity!
A Gentle Guide to Social Interaction for the Feeble Young Introvert by Jason Roeder
Everything Is Wrong With You
: The Modern Woman's Guide to Finding Self-Confidence Through Self-Loathing by Wendy Molyneux
So You Want to Be President?
Find Out If You Have the Ego, Bankroll, and Moral Flexibility to Lead the Nation and Take on the World by John Warner
This imprint's survival depends on more people discovering these talented humorists.
Won't you take a look and recommend them to a friend?
Fun

These books look hilarious. I'll be downloading some, and I've already passed along the link to a couple of writers groups. I laughed at the quote about grinding up the books and turning them into wall insulation -- when we built our house three years ago, that's what we chose for insulation! I think ours is actually newspaper though, since it's grayish.
