Lou Schwartz, president of the American Sportscasters Association, calls the book both “novel and fascinating.”

http://www.americansportscastersonline.com

"It's an interesting tool for writers who understand that marketing is more than half the battle when you have a book to sell, no matter who published your work, what it's about or what your sales numbers look like right now."  Maryan Pelland

" If you are interested in listening to talk radio or being a guest on a show this book is essential. This work is suitable for general reference collections and should prove to be a popular reading title as well."

Ralph Lee Scott, American Reference Books Annual , July 2009

Book Reviews

"Imagine being able to sit down with a coffee and discuss with hundreds of radio hosts what their shows are about and what kind of guests they’d like to book. You can do just that with Francine Silverman’s new book Talk Radio Wants You: An Intimate Guide to 700 Shows and How to Get Invited. I have paid $300 or more for talkradio show databases that had far less information than Francine presents in her highly-competivitely priced book.....I would expect most people can find a dozen hot prospects for making their pitch in under half-an-hour, that is if you can stop yourself from endlessly browsing the fascinating entries! .....

I can’t recommend this book strongly enough for any author who wants to get into this high-profile, low-cost method of marketing.

"I am in awe with the craftmanship of your intense heart felt work. The editing of each, the time so preciously spent. I can't put the book down ."

"You have done such a phenomenal job, putting all the information together. You've gone the extra mile." Donna Seebo, host of The Donna Seebo Show on BBS Radio. http://www.BBSRadio.com

"This is a substantial book (7" by 10" and 315 pages) and it has a hefty price ($75) but, if you have a book to promote, this book could be the difference between weak sales and tremendous sales."                 

                                Patricia Fry , president of SPAWN (Small Publishers, Artists and Writers Network)

"Most talk show guests are authors -- with good reason. Authors have done recent research, focused on their readership and have targeted their message.

Talk show hosts want to interview the AUTHORity.

Talk Radio Wants You shows how to match your subject to more than 700 talk shows."

   Dan Poynter , The Self-Publishing Manual.

"Got your book. Terrific job! Thanks for compiling all this information. Especially the "Top 100 Talk Show" appendices. Your book will be of great use to me."   Matthew Stein, author of When Technology Fails (Revised & Expanded): A Manual for Self-Reliance, Sustainability, and Surviving the Long Emergency (Chelsea Green Publishing 2008), http://www.whentechfails.com

Arlene Uslander has written to my publisher for a copy of my book so that she can write a review for the National Federation of Press Women and her Arizona chapter, Arizona Press Women, and recommend it to

other writers' groups. She is also giving an "Author's Talk" at a public library in Sonora early in September, and would like to be able to show the book, both to her audience and to the head librarian. Also, she will be attending the NFPW's conference in San Antonio in September and wants to show the book to the members, who will be coming from all over the U.S.

"Received my copy of your book Saturday - fabulous!  What a great resource, and I'm honored to be in it." Celeste Terry , host of Demystifying Non-Profits on Global Talk Radio. http://www.globaltalkradio.com

" Talk Radio Wants You is a fact-filled adventure into an area most know little about..."I encourage people to use radio as their voice for promoting books, businesses and services," Silverman urges. "After all, it's free and easy." It's possible her comprehensive volume may be the easiest way yet to make the proper connections." Jim Cox, Chattanooga Airwaves , July 2009

"I want to thank you for writing the book on talk radio...You did a lot of research for this, and I, for one, appreciate it very much. Kudos, dear!"
