Okay, on the back of the advance reader's copy of the book, there's a bullet point list of places & events where you might be able to get your own advanced copy. As such, I thought some here might be interested. I'll bold the ones I think are the most relevant.
- Author tour
- consumer advertising
- extensive online advertising, including Reedit & Facebook
- major GoodReads advertising and promotions
- targeted print advertising in science fiction/fantasy publications
- extensive print feature and review coverage
- author blog tour
- major online interviews and reviews
- promitions at conventions throughout the year, including author appearances
- samplers for conventions
- social media outreach includding promotions in the Project Paranormal Facebook page and Twitter
As I mentioned in another thread, you were able to pick up a copy at SDCC if you followed @acerocbooks so at least it might be in your interest to start following that Twitter account. I expect there's a good chance the book might hit NYCC in a similar manner. I'm not familiar with any other conventions Peguin attends.
