I got the shaft from Diamond but am going through smaller distributors. Is there any chance you would consider putting my book The Couch in indypreviews? I'm still working on putting up my website but I do have The Couch ordering information up in other sites. I can send you a copy so you can see what you think. Let me know.

Important note for all publishers!


Folks--

Thanks for the information. I will definitely try to get you in Indypreviews featured comics. Please look at the new post which should appear above this one. It has information about how this stuff really should be entered on the Connect Sales Directory. Thanks!

You are not related to "Indy Magazine" or "Previews" are you?

Using the name of 2 other magazines is a bit misleading.

Joe Zabel's IndyPreview is affiliated with NEITHER Indy Magazine, nor with Diamond Previews.

Regarding the use of the name 'Indypreviews.' We are definitely not affiliated with any other organization. I sought and received Indy magazine publisher Jeff Mason's blessing to use the name. The other part of the name is a common word of the english language used in the names of many publications, columns, and enterprises.

We certainly don't intend for the name to be misleading. Our objective was to have a name that was somewhat self-explanatory, to make it easier to spread the word.

On other note to CPR, above-- I think most of the discussion board participants would appreciate it if you post under your full name, especially when making critical statements about others. Thanks.

Uh, I can't seem to modify my Username.

Anyways, it's not a critical statement, just my 2 cents, Joe!

That's ok, Casey; I don't mind criticism, and maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it. But anonymous 'flamers' are a plague on the web, and I don't want that to happen to comicon.com.
