I’m a Promo Slut
Carly Icon

I’m a bad girl. I’m sorry!!!!!!! I was up late last night writing and though I intended to write my blog, I FORGOT! :bowdown:

OK … here’s what I want to talk about. I’m a goodie obsessed writer. I could spend hours online searching for goodies to order so I have them on hand to send out to people. I have door hangars, I have magnets, stickie pads, calendar cards … you name it.

But what I have that I love most are my PLOTMONKEY bookmarks. We listed the info on how to get these on the side of this website but as of today I’ve only received 4 SASE’s asking for them (don’t worry, they’re coming! I’m waiting for Julie’s bookmarks and then I’ll send!)

Why am I responsible for mailing out the bookmarks? Because I’m the promo slut!!!!

How do you get a plotmonkey bookmark as well as a bookmark from each of the monkeys personal stash?

Send a self addressed, stamped envelope to:
Carly Phillips
Plotmonkeys Bookmark
P.O. Box 483
Purchase, NY 10577

One stamp is fine! One regular legal size envelope is perfect. NOT the short kind you can fit a check into but the longer kind. And no need to send one of those huge envelopes that would fit an entire manuscript.

We are so excited about these things! OH … and if you want to get the “Carly goodies” I mentioned, you need to send a separate SASE to the same address, this one with 2 (two) stamps, that says:
Carly Phillips
Website Goodies
PO Box 483
Purchase, NY 10577

I know Janelle’s a promo junkie like me. To get her stuff, same idea.

SASE to:
Janelle Denison
PO box 1102
Rialto, CA 92377

Because I’m late w/my blog, I don’t know if Julie or Leslie has goodies beyond the bookmarks you’ll get from me in the plotmonkey goodie envelope. Julie, Les, let the good people know if you’re a slut like me and if so, where to send SASE’s. And forgive me for not knowing or having your info. :fryingpan:

WHAT KIND OF GOODIES DO YOU ENJOY GETTING FROM WRITERS?????? Inquiring plotmonkeys want to know!

I hope you enjoy!!!
:thankyou:
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!!!!!!
:party:

Carly

CarlyCarly Phillips would like to take 100% credit for all her stories but the truth is, Carly’s strength is writing family, emotion, funky elderly people and animals. She couldn’t plot her way out of a paper bag, which is why she smartly found her plotmonkey pals early on in her writing career. Thanks to their support, Carly is now a NYT Bestselling author of 23 plus novels. Because writing doesn’t keep her busy enough, Carly is also a wife, a mother of one preteen and one teenage daughter, the primary care giver of her soft coated Wheaten terrier and an expert carpool mom.

    Excerpt from upcoming books. That would make you a tease too.

    Wow…one time that I’m the “good girl!” LOL! No, I don’t have promo stuff right now except what I’ll send to Carly to go out with the Plotmonkey stuff. I’m just not that organized!

    My favorite goodies from authors would have to be….
    sticky note pads
    I love coasters, key rings, I have one of Janelles potholders that Carly sent me years ago. I still use it.
    Those things that help open a jar lid are nice
    Of course I love pens, bookmarks, book thongs are cool too.

    Here is one Carly how about have the M&M people make you up some boxes of pink and red M&Ms . :cheer: You know how we femlae have the chocolate gene.:love2:

    I love promo stuff! I even picked up something the other day while using it and realized it came from Carly! And I am constantly using one of those “bottle grips” that Janelle had a few years ago.

    Are you ladies giving out goodies at the Literacy Signing in Atlanta?

    I’m not picky. Love bookmarks, any type of calendar (like those small ones the size of a deck of cards), little notepads, pens (cuz I’m always looking for a pen!) Whatever.

    I’m going to ATL this year, and I’m so excited to meet those of you going! Who plans on being there?

    I like getting ARCS, notepads, pens, signed bookmarks, signed postcards, signed newsletters, coverflats, keychains, coasters, candy, buttons, letter openers, fridge magnets.

    I want an ARC from each of you!! :hide:

    Happy July 4th everybody! :party:

    I am such a PLOTMONKEY geek! I am one of the four who have requested PLOTMONKEY stuff. I love sticky pads (I can NEVER have enough!), pens, the jar opener thing would be fun, sticky notes, sticky notes, sticky notes…did I mention sticky notes? I love pens, pens, pens (did I mention pens, too…they seem to disappear in my house). Love M and Ms, too (I think Gigi mentioned that). We’d also love it if you came to the West Coast (then, you can see I am not scary at all). Mmmm…how about book thongs (I am still CURIOUS about that!). :razz: Love you guys, I just got some of the ‘old’ anthologies of your writings (I think one of them is “I love Bad Boys”, which my husband keeps teasing me about since he is such a NERD! and one of them is a Christmas one). They will keep me going until the end of July!:thankyou::thumbsup:

    I recently got an envelope full of promotion “stuff” from Carly. Great stuff!:thumbsup: Bookmarks/book thongs, sticky notes & pens are probably my favorites but I do like the magnets also. It is hard to believe that you have only had 4 requests.:shock:
    To everyone, however you spend today enjoy, relax, see some fireworks & stay safe.:cool::love2::cheer:

    I really think the bookmark mention is lost b/c people just come and see the daily blog, which is why I put it here today. We really want to spread the word about the plotmonkeys, so I’m going to get these out to some conferences too.

    I think my 2 favs would have to be pens and bookmarks because that is what I use the most and I can’t seem to keep a bookmark very long without losing it. I also love, love, love coasters. Since I spend way too much time at my desk working on my store or writing, I definitely need coasters for all that Diet Dr. Pepper I drink! LOL

    I love those little freebies so much, I am the one you will see in atlanta carrying around the big bag. LOL

    Carly,
    Funny that your blog was about promo stuff, I just sent my SASE to you for Plot Monkey stuff Saturday! I love it all. So far my favorite has been this water proof container to keep money and keys in while i’m at the beach or pool!! That really came in handy today! Oh and the thank you tin of those tiny heart candies with the saying on them!!!!

    :cheer: Happy 4th of July!!!

    Having worked in exactly this field I can’t even begin to tell you the things that are out there. I mostly dealt with the artwork and research for the orders though. As far as receiving things from my favorite authors, I love the pens, sticky notes, and my favorite item that I got from an author was an insulated travel mug for my coffee. It is a beautiful cobalt blue color with her name and a little saying in white on it. I still use it.

    I also won a contest a few years ago from Suzanne Brockmann and won an awesome hooded sweatshirt with the Navy Seals emblem on the chest. I love that too.

    There are so many things out there that I am sure anyone would love to receive. I guess the thing is when you are getting something from one of your favorite authors it doesn’t really matter too much what it is. :smile:

    Well, I am kind of relieved. I was beginging to wonder if I had not put enough postage on my SASE or has accidently sent it ti the phone company or some other equally exotic destination. I LOVE freebies too.I look forward to recieving the bookmarks!

    Hi, I’m new to the PlotMonkeys. How cute is this?! Now if I could figure out how to use the little pictures… Okay, freebies – I love them all! My favorites would be bookmarks (I’m a librarian – bending the pages is a big no-no!), book thongs, pens, sticky notes, notepads, and keychains. I collect Christmas tree ornmanents whenever I travel or am involved in a special project. Some tourist places have no ornaments for purchase, so I often turn keychains into tree ornaments by removing the chain and adding a ribbon. How cool to have a fave author hanging out for the holidays?! : )

    It’s so late and I’m so tired, I didn’t even notice! Welcome to Plotmonkeys, Lynne! :wave: What a GREAT idea about the keychains. My family travels a lot and I never thought to do a Christmas tree in that theme. It’s fabulous. :thankyou:

    I just found this site. I have never received promos before but I am sending out my SASE right now. Can’t wait to get my stuff. I could use a bookmark since I am a page bender. Happy summer and reading!!!:cheer:
