Unique - Many thanks. Poynter's site looks interesting. Will bookmark it.

Writegirl -Yes, I think it is critical to tie it to the news. My book is based loosely around the true story of a woman in Ottawa who went missing. That is one way that I am pitching my book. Seems to me as though a girl or woman goes missing every time I turn on the news! Now there's that 18-year-old in Aruba. I know that the news inflates things, but it happens a lot more often than we think.

Thanks everybody for your advice! Sigrid
