How to Acquire Book Reviews
Last week, when I posted the links to sites that list reviewers, several people commented that they were afraid to ask book bloggers and others to review their books. Don't be! That's what those people do - they review books. If your book is in a genre that person reads, don't be afraid to ask if they would review it. The worst they can say is no. (And at that point, you say next!)
If you're a self-published author, you are the one who must contact reviewers, either before or after your book's release. Even if you are traditionally published, you can assist your publisher by finding potential reviewers.
Here are the steps:
1 - Browse through the lists looking for potential reviewers -
Book Review Blogs
FSB Media
Ebook Crossroads
Media Bistro
The Indie Review
2 - Find the ones who review your genre. Copy the web address, email/contact, and submission guidelines. Take note of the reviewer's name. (Very important!)
3 - Note the time frame for reviews. How long will it take? Also note when they want to receive the book - before or after the release. (Review copy/ARC or finished product?) And where do they post those reviews besides their site?
4 - If you are self-published, note if they take self-published books. Also note if they take Ebooks or require print.
5 - If it is a website, browse their previous reviews. If it is a blog, in addition to checking out the reviews, follow that blog. Start leaving comments. In the blogging world, it's all about relationships, so forge one with bloggers who could potentially review your book.
6 - Once you have your list and you're familiar with the sites and/or built a relationship, contact the site about a review. Follow the submission guidelines exactly! Each reviewer is different, so don't send out blanket reviews. Personalize and individualize.
A sample message/email:
Dear ____:
I've been following your site for a while now and have enjoyed your reviews.
Would you be interested in reviewing my book?
Author Name
Release Date
Short Synopsis
Links to purchase and to Goodreads
Thank you for your consideration,
Your Name
Your Website
You can also list any awards or a really good review from a major reviewer or author.
Do NOT send attachments, such as cover art or an Ebook, unless the reviewer requests it!
7 - Wait for a response. If there is no response within a week, the answer is quite likely no. If they request the book, be sure you get a mailing address for print books or send the correct format for Ebooks.
8 - If you are coordinating a blog tour or need the book reviewed by a certain time, be sure both of you understand and confirm dates. Book bloggers are often open to being part of a blog tour (if given enough time to read the book) or doing a giveaway, so discuss those options.
9 - Be patient and employ good people skills! If there is no set date or blog tour, the person will review it on his or her own schedule. There is also a chance that person may never review it. And there's a chance that it might be a poor review. Either way, thank the person for the review and refrain from arguing if you disagree with the review.
Pre-publication reviewers, book bloggers, authors, etc. who review books understand that their review can be used for promotional purposes. Unless they state otherwise, permission is not needed.
Reviews can be shortened to blurbs and placed on the back of the book, inside the book, on your website, on a sell sheet or bookmark, etc. and used to help promote your book. Full reviews on Goodreads, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc. will give your book credibility and boost future sales.
It's never too late to gather reviews! Even after a book's release you can continue soliciting reviewers. And with Ebooks, it doesn't cost you a thing.
Now, who's ready to get some reviews?

Yes, I do all that, and still nothing. Oh well, I've complained about that on your blog before, so I won't go there again! I would also suggest, when looking through the lists, to start at the end, or half-way through... everyone starts at A, so they'll be swamped... And now I've given my Great Idea away, I'm going to send lots of emails before everyone else gets there :-)

That's a good checklist. There are a lot of reviewers out there if we look.
- June 14, 2013
- Denise Covey said...
Great checklist. I read tons of books but don't get time to do a review for every one. I'd respond if someone asked me nicely. But I only review books I can respond to positively.
- June 14, 2013
- Maurice Mitchell said...
A good list and whenever we get a request that is obviously a customized template it goes straight in the trash. I figure the person obviously doesn't care.

- Al Diaz said...
I am on the reviewer side but I find these tips also useful to get an idea of what I should do and what is expected from me. Thanks, Diane!
- June 14, 2013
- D.G. Hudson said...
Thanks for the list and sharing your knowledge. I review books, for authors who write in the genres I read/write.
If an author wants a review, gifting a copy to that review person is a good way to forge a relationship. I've had authors want a review, but they tell me to contact their publisher for a copy (a suspense author) or buy the book first (a YA author). Not a good way to operate.
It's a two-way street, like most things in life, you get what you give.

Didn't realise getting reviews was so difficult. These sound very helpful tips.

Great tips! Thanks.
Happy Weekend :)
- June 14, 2013
- L. Diane Wolfe said...
Annalisa, that is a good idea.
Denise, that's a good policy.
Maurice, it just takes a few minutes to personalize and customize a request, too.
DG, those authors should contact their publishers themselves!
Mary, I've looked into it, and it's expensive on both ends.

You are so great to have as a blogger friend. I always learn something. Your book is laying open on my desk right now.

I'm saving this for when its time. Thanks.

- Susan Flett Swiderski said...
Me, me, me! I'm ready. (I think.)
I got my first review on Amazon today, and it was a good one, so I'm flying high. Yeah, I know it's inevitable that there will be some stinker reviews at some time, but for now, I'm happy to wrap this one around me like a mink coat. (Inside out!)
Thanks so much for the tips. I really appreciate them.

Mighty fine tips. Marketing is our responsibility whether we're traditionally or self-published. There's a certain amount of leg work we've got to do ourselves.

In terms of her musical with Christina Aguilera, Cher hasseen the last of it.
Not one to mine words, pop diva laid it all out in her latest interview with the Los Angeles Times, telling the publication that Burlesque, well, basically sucked.
"It wasn't a good film," she said of 2010 flick, which has a 36 percent freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes. "It had a few good moments, but I didn't even like my performance that much."
"What, I don't have a brain? I'm old but I'm still pretty on top of everything," she astutely added.
And indeed the 67-year-old has her finger on the pop culture pulse these days. Aside from — let's face it — speaking the truth about her much-derided movie and hosting an amazing AMA on Reddit, Cher recently hit the nail on the head about Miley Cyrus' awkwardly-inappropriate VMAs performance, telling USA Today:
It just wasn't done well. She can't dance, her body looked like hell, the song wasn't great, one cheek was hanging out. And, chick, don't stick out your tongue if it's coated.
Though she did later clarify on her Twitter that she should've kept her "big opinionated mouth shut" on the matter, you really can't say Cher isn't onto something here.

Movies are made by a series of drawings representing the
shots planned for a movie or
television production Storyboarding Breaking down the script -Read the script and notice where each scene starts
-Talk with the director and author to see exactly what they want you to do
-This may include...
-amount of detail of the scenes
-whether or not actors are included
- camera angles
-lighting Cut out duplicate scenes! Why Storyboarding? -Allows everyone to see the big picture
-Is the final step before filming
-The step where scenes are cut
-A vague and open version of the final production Storyboarding for Live Action -Requires less detail than storyboarding for animation
-Doesn't need much more than a drawing of a scene or set
-Leaves creativity to directors and actors
-Sometimes shows blocking, depending on the director's wants
-Blocking is the movements of the actor on set- where he goes and his actions Scripting Directing And filming Right? Wrong. Works Cited http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/storyboarding-your-film.html

George Clooney to Stare at Goats
Plus: Finally the a cappella movie we've been (chicka chicka ssshhh) waiting for all these years.
Clooney Gets His Goat: Grant Heslov casts his buddy George Clooney in the adaptation of Jon Ronson's hilarious book Men Who Stare at Goats, the story of the U.S. Army's First Earth Battalion, a squad directed to develop paranormal powers, including killing goats by staring at them. Casting of Clooney ensures, however, that on-set goats will all simply fall deeply in love after encountering Clooney's soulful gaze. [Variety]
To Ramona: Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Live Free or Die Hard) is in talks to join Michael Cera in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, playing Ramona Flowers, the delivery girl who steals Scott's heart. No word yet on who will play her seven evil ex-boyfriends, but we're betting Jonah Hill is gonna end up on the list. [HR]
Glover Returns to Fugard: Danny Glover will reprise his Broadway role in a film adaptation of Athol Fugard's Master Harold … and the Boys. Lonny Price, who played opposite Glover in 1982 and directed him on Broadway in 2003, will direct. We assume Glover will be playing the old guy he played five years ago, not the young guy he played in 1982. But maybe through movie magic he'll play both! [Variety]
All-Black Cat to Screen: Producer Stephen Byrd will bring his Broadway Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, starring James Earl Jones, Phylicia Rashad, and Terrence Howard, to the screen, with shooting planned for 2009. This is one of those Variety articles that doesn't really have any details or anything, and as you read it you realize that there's probably actually no solid plans to film Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, but people really want to so they figured they might as well tell Variety about it. [Variety]
Banks Goes A Cappella: Universal acquires the rights to Mickey Rapkin's nonfiction book Pitch Perfect, the story of a year in the life of a collegiate a cappella singing group. Elizabeth Banks will produce. Or should we say: E-LIIIIZZZ-abeth Banks (bow bow bow bow) will (chicka sssshhh chicka sssshhh) pro-(dum dum dum)-duce! (Sound of crash cymbal.) [HR]

missed our summer issue?
it's not too late!
domino magazine: summer 2016 issue
Summer is the official season of FUN, a word we definitely think our latest issue embodies. We'd also describe it as very much minimalist, metallic, neon, and fruit-filled. It's not all fun and games, though. There are some serious lessons in there, too. Keep reading to learn how to master the art of summer designing, decorating, and entertaining—sophisticated Jell-O shots included.

things we learned from Our summer issue
- Sorry, #shelfie. Cool cabinets are having a moment. Take Alyson Fox's very metallic bathroom, for instance.
- Minimalism doesn't have to be boring. Take this triangular mirror in blogger Pennyweight's Nashville home.
- If you're going to be entertaining outside, you NEED an outdoor bar cart. (Don't worry, there are a ton of different ways to use it.)
- The ombre trend is alive and well—in the home Linda and John Meyers, aka the soap and candle masterminds behind Wary Meyers.
- Jell-O shots have officially graduated from college.
This basil-infused watermelon recipe
proves it.
- The key to a beautiful apartment is still having good bones. See: The white-painted exposed brick wall and beamed ceilings in cool couple Daphne Javitch and Pali Xisto Cornelsen's apartment.
- Life as a toddler really can be that chic. This is a custom daybed for two-and-a-half-year-old Liles. Yeah, we're jealous.

An annual soccer showcase between the two service academies, the deal begins with this year's Army-Navy Cup VI, scheduled for 2:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, October 15.

"We owe our men and women in uniform gratitude for everything they do to keep our nation safe."
Army-Navy Cup has seen significant growth over its five years at Talen Energy Stadium. Each of the last three years, crowds have broken the 10,000 barrier. During that time, attendance was among the top handful of crowds for a college soccer match anywhere in the country, as well as the largest crowds east of the Mississippi River.
Talen Energy Stadium played host to the inaugural Army-Navy Cup in 2012 with the series currently deadlocked, each side holding a 2-2-1 record over the span. The debut edition in 2012 ended in a draw. Navy won in both 2013 and 2014, while Army has taken the contest in each of the last two years.
In the all-time rivalry between the two clubs, Navy leads the series against Army, 40-29-14.

Answer to your question
Nothing may be sold during an event without prior consultation with a contact person at Saint-Guidon (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Invoices can only be sent to the addresses stipulated in the contract.
Multiple addresses, specific payees/companies or invoicing division must all be stipulated in the contract and cannot be demanded at a later date.
All our invoices are payable within 30 days of the invoice date. Furthermore, any default in payment entitles Saint-Guidon N.V. to increase the invoice amount by 15% without formal notice according to penal law.
The required prior formalities necessary for certain events, such as the application to SABAM for example, must be taken care of by the client who must also take care of all related costs, taxes and payments.
As regards sound levels, the client/organiser must ensure that the legally allowed number of decibels is not exceeded.
Music may be played at private functions. For events open to the public you must first submit an application to SABAM (Belgian Association of Authors, Composers and Publishers) and then submit it to Saint-Guidon.
A secure cloakroom and a toilet attendant will be charged as extra.
We need to be informed of the estimated number of participants one week before the event date. The number of participants must be confirmed in writing no later than 48 hours before the event. This number will serve as the minimum basis for invoicing purposes.
Clients may use the car parks as well as the former training grounds for their events. The first division's football pitch may not be use.
If you inform us of a cancellation within 48 hours before the event , we will invoice you for 100% of the event. If you inform us between 48 hours and 20 days before the event, we will invoice you for 30% of the event.
For lunches served after 18:00 and dinners served after midnight, personnel overtime costs shall be invoiced per hour, based on current rates.
The prices listed are valid for three months, as of the quotation date, after which the prices may be amended. The rates will then match those that apply on the day of your event.
Saint-Guidon N.V. cannot be held liable for any damages or theft to goods stored or displayed by the organiser. Saint-Guidon N.V. therefore advises clients to have adequate insurance and provide event headquarters during their event. The organiser is responsible for damages they or their guests cause during the event. The Saint-Guidon N.V. management retains the right to cancel a contract in the event of force majeure (strike, fire, water damage, etc.). Saint-Guidon N.V. cannot be held liable for the loss of personal items if they weren't handed in (with a ticket provided) at the cloakroom or reception.

Neil Strauss and Anthony Bozza on Their New Plans to Publish 'Intelligent Writing About Stupid Topics'
Then there's the tale of a woman, brought up as a traditional Muslim, who became "the most depraved rock groupie you've ever seen."
Neil Strauss, author of The Game and approved biographer of Jenna Jameson, Marilyn Manson, Mötley Crüe, and Dave Navarro, has paired off with fellow rock-star puffer Anthony Bozza (Eminem, Slash, Tommy Lee) to found Igniter, part of HarperCollins' new imprint for the kids, It Books. Given the duo's pedigree, it's not surprising that Bozza uses a music-business analogy to describe the alliance: "It's kind of like an indie record label that has distribution through a major label. We're not employees of Harper. We're not in the building."
The duo have already picked three of their outside-the-box projects (they plan to start with four). First they signed the late Larry Harmon's autobiography, The World According to Bozo the Clown. It may not be the most auspicious debut — "our first author died on us, which put a crimp in our plans," says Strauss. But they're moving forward with it. Then there's the tale of a woman, brought up as a traditional Muslim, who became "the most depraved rock groupie you've ever seen," Strauss says. "She enjoys pushing bands to extremes, like 'Whoa, that's too much for us!'" Also slated is the memoir of a mobster with the timely motto, "We don't kill you anymore, we kill your credit."
What's the governing philosophy? "My thought is two words: be interesting," says Strauss. "We're dealing with [readers] who think a four-minute YouTube video is painfully long. That's not even a chapter. And we're dealing with an industry that has a certain sense of what should and shouldn't be a book, and that sometimes shoots itself in its own foot."
He and Bozza may have a few tell-alls under their belt, but they're after different game. Strauss recently took a meeting with someone "in the news a lot," who said he'd have no problem revealing the unsavory bits of his past — like the fact that he'd hit and killed a pedestrian with a bus. "There was no emotion, there was no remorse, it was just a guy willing to exploit his life to sell a book," says Strauss. "Celebrities are doing just fine on their own," he says. "But who does need us is this woman who's got an amazing piece of writing, and a story that any editor who's seen it is revolted by it. They can't stop talking about it, but they won't publish it."
Like the very athletic groupie. "A lot of publishers feel pretty okay putting out novels like that or [fiction that is] even more revolting," says Bozza. "I think there's something about the fact that it's true that was an issue. Which I never got." Strauss says he tries to edify members of his mailing list by recommending books like Ulysses, Pale Fire, and As I Lay Dying. But he doesn't buy the whole highbrow-lowbrow thing. "I worked for the New York Times," he reminds us. "I've thought about low-culture versus high-culture obligations. People I find that are interesting live in both those worlds. I just think that's where the world is now. Intelligent writing about stupid topics can be a good thing."

Location: Boston, MA
Product or service: OpenAirs professional services automation (PSA) software helps project-based organizations quantify the nature of each engagement in terms of the resources needed to complete the project and the final value to the organizations bottom line.
Why its innovative: PSA tackles one of those difficult to quantify business processes and attempts to make it measurable and open to automation. How exactly does a service organization measure a project? Simply clocking the time people spend doesnt capture the full extent of the project, especially when time spent on a less valuable project may impact one of a higher value, nor does time tracking help with planning.
Whats most interesting about OpenAir is how much its value increases when used within an application ecosphere. Delivered as a service, OpenAirs PSA is part of Salesforce.coms AppExchange. Since OpenAir is open-source software, customers are free to tailor it to their own in-house or legacy solutions, but OpenAir is most effective when working in concert with Salesforce.coms SFA and CRM solutions. When a lead is close to being converted to a client, the SFA application seamlessly hands that information off to OpenAir, which then automates the process of devoting the resources required to close the deal, service the project and fulfill the contract.
The software creates revenue and cost estimates for engagements and uses what-if planning scenarios to optimize price, margin, billing rates, and staffing. Access to real-time information and a more granular estimate of each projects expected profitability help the sales team focus on the highest-probability, highest-margin deals.
The software also includes collaboration, document control, project accounting, and reporting and tracking tools.
Whats their track record? Customers include Adbeam, Stellent, Collaborative Consulting, Opsware, Witness Systems, and Akibia. The company reported 45% year over year revenue growth for the third quarter of 2006. OpenAirs subscriber base also expanded to more than 26,000 users, and the company says that it has been profitable for twelve consecutive quarters. The company estimates that revenues for 2006 fell in the $6-8 million range.
Funding: OpenAir has raised over $16 million in venture funding from Fidelity Capital, 3i, i-Hatch Ventures, Rex Capital, and angel investors.
What are the major obstacles to overcome? There are a number of PSA vendors out there. Microsoft Project and Primavera qualify as incumbents, while a number of smaller vendors deliver PSA as a service, including Autotask, Intacct, and QuickArrow.
Illuminatas Haff notes that software as a service is taking off in the open-source sector. Since open source often aims for the mid-market customer overlooked by larger shrink-wrap software providers, delivering the solutions in a way that minimizes in-house IT burdens is both a necessity and a competitive advantage.
Flexibility is another advantage. Most of these products can be run as in-house applications, but theyre designed so they can be delivered on-demand as services, depending on customer needs, Haff said.
The features offered by OpenAir are much like traditional PSA offerings from Microsoft Project or Primavera. The difference is that OpenAir is delivered on-demand. Against other PSA vendors employing the SaaS model, such as Autotask and QuickArrow, OpenAirs main advantage is that it can be closely coupled with Salesforce.com applications. The two companies even partner beyond the software itself, collaborating on lead generation and marketing.
Management Team: Morris Panner, CEO, previously held a number of operational and managerial positions in the U.S. Department of Justice, most recently serving as deputy chief of the narcotics section. Geoff Crawshaw, CTO, previously founded a software development company in Boston.
Tom Brennan, CFO and VP of strategic alliances, was formerly VP of strategic alliances at Prodigy Communications. Ed Marshall, VP of sales and marketing, was previously a management consultant at Bain & Company and at Liberty Mutual.

Medicare to pay for HIV screening
Medicare will now cover HIV screening for beneficiaries, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services said Tuesday.
The policy was "strongly recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, allowing CMS to cover HIV screening effective immediately," CMS said in a statement. The policy will cover Medicare beneficiaries who are at increased risk for the infection, including women who are pregnant, as well as all beneficiaries who request the service. Changes to the law made under the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA) allow CMS to add to Medicare's list of covered preventive services without congressional authorization.
An estimated 19% of U.S. residents diagnosed with AIDS, a fatal disease resulting from HIV infection, are age 50 or older, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.

Hello, my name is Nicole (All together now: "Hi, Nicole!") and I am a PBS nerd. There are many shades of nerdity, some even within geek circles considered "cooler" than others, I think we can all agree. But being a loyal, devoted lover of public television in the old US of A has probably never been one of them. Sure, we all grew up with our PBS touchstones – Sesame Street, obviously. (And if you are of a certain age, The Electric Company – original recipe, hell yeah I see you, Morgan Freeman! – and 3-2-1 Contact, too.) And for the Anglophiles in the house, many of us got our first taste of Doctor Who and Monty Python, among myriad other British classics, thanks to public telly in the States. Nonetheless, I really feel as though PBS has contributed immensely to my cultural experience on so many levels… which is why the news out of the City of Angels on October 8th of this year made me feel like a piece of my childhood was on its deathbed.
On that date, Los Angeles PBS affiliate KCET announced that as of the end of this year, it would abandon the public television banner and go strictly independent. Yes, they promise they will still carry "programming that reflects 'diverse, creative voices'," but the lynchpins of PBS programming – Sesame Street, Charlie Rose, NewsHour, Masterpiece Theater – will be absent. The good news is that Angelenos like me won't have to search too far for these shows as we've got an affiliate in Orange County, KOCE, that will still offer them. Nevertheless, the budget dispute that brought about this parting of ways is the first real concrete evidence of the trend that I and many others have probably seen coming for many years now… public television is struggling to find its place in the television culture of the 21st century. They've scrabbled to gain the funding necessary to acquire programming in the first place for a long time, but if the demand isn't there… is PBS really, finally about to go the way of the dodo? Sadness.
The fact is that with channels like Discovery, National Geographic, Current and countless other cable networks offering documentary programming and current affairs, part of the necessity for having a public TV outlet to offer this sort of show no longer exists. Cable television diversity has killed innumerable old-school programming vehicles for decades – for example, the death of Saturday morning cartoons that many of us grew up with in the 70's and 80's, made redundant by channels like Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Boomerang showcasing 'toons 24/7, or at least 12/7 (I see you, Adult Swim!)
As a kid growing up in the era of three major networks (four once Fox appeared when I was twelve), there was still enough of a lack of options for PBS to be a major contender for my precious TV time. And a lot of the time, it scored. Granted, sometimes it wasn't down to PBS affiliated shows at all, but rather KCET's own programming decisions like airing acclaimed films – some of them quite surprising – complete and uncut. (No shit, for the longest time I had a VHS copy of This Is Spinal Tap that I taped off PBS… fact!) Also, some choice documentaries aired during the ubiquitous Pledge Week that introduced me to favorites such as the great W.C. Fields, the subject of a fantastic documentary by future Curb Your Enthusiasm helmer Bob Weide which my dad taped and made me watch. (To my great benefit… and occasional amusement, when I run across fellow Fields nerds who can recite the whole "Carl LaFong" scene from It's A Gift from memory.)
Still, at the forefront of these childhood memories were the grand old PBS standards… Carl Sagan, that beautiful egghead emcee of Cosmos who supplemented my fascination with outer space above and beyond Star Wars and Star Trek:
The Masterpiece Theater landmarks like Brideshead Revisited, which my forward-thinking parents actually let me watch with them when I was seven, even if I didn't get all of the context at the time. I did later, certainly. (And it did still give me a crucial reference point for some very important realities… like being sat down and explained to why my uncle Bill was living with a guy called Gary. "Oh," I said, "You mean he's like Sebastian in Brideshead Revisited. He likes boys." Conversation over. I liked Sebastian… no big whoop, man.) :
(Warning – English gents' bare bums, NSFW!)
And then there was WonderWorks, the excellent 80's series of kid-targeted films which introduced me to Anne of Green Gables. Yeah, on the surface, a pretty square literary adaptation of a beloved series of books, but damned if I didn't identify with Megan Follows' Anne as a dreamer, a lover of all tales grand and fantastical. She was a 19th Century rural Canadian nerd, and I loved her dearly. Plus, it's hard not to love a lass who's unafraid to smash a blackboard over a stupid boy's head. Atta girl!:
I might be making a big to-do about nothing; time will tell if the KCET change-over is isolated and the PBS network will remain intact for the most part for some time to come. Still, it pains me a bit that after I unleashed a massive amount of squee about Masterpiece bringing the BBC's outstanding Sherlock to U.S. audiences this month, it will likely be one of the last great offerings that series broadcasts on the channel that I grew up watching. I really hope that we aren't seeing a trend in which the other great PBS stations – New York's WNET, Boston's WGBH – will eventually suffer the same fate. Prove me wrong, telly trends… prove me dead wrong.
Sound off about whether or not I'm overreacting – as well as your favorite PBS memories over the years – in the comments!

Kasey Smith is the founder of EterNav, a start-up based in Castine bringing new technology and support to families faced with the unexpected loss of a loved one. EterNav offers more affordable, convenient and personalized bereavement solutions. Kasey has spent the last several months refining her business pitch by participating in the Bangor Top Gun accelerator program and several other pitching events. This fall, you will be able to see her pitch on Season 2 of the televised pitch competition, Greenlight Maine, which begins airing on Saturday, September 10th. We asked her about what she has learned through those experiences.
What has been the value of pitching at various events?
It's been invaluable. I wasn't successful at getting the resources we need as a start-up before pitching practice and mentoring. The pitch keeps me at the ready for anything that comes at me, and before, this was very stressful. Being ready for anything means my confidence is up, and that's felt by everyone I interact with.
Networking events weren't as useful before. Now, I pull from my different pitches depending on the audience. I always use the first line. Through practice, I was finally able to distill what EterNav is into one sentence, which is particularly challenging when you are doing something that no one has done before. My one sentence is like my calling card.
I wanted to learn to pitch to secure seed funding, but now I am using the pitching for every interaction the business has with the outside world – from quick conversations with potential customers to investor presentations.
Refining my pitch has even made writing grant proposals less of a struggle. It used to take me hours to create a cohesive message. Now it takes minutes.
How do you modify your pitch for different audiences?
Now I understand the pitch so well. It allows me to adapt it in the moment depending on who my audience is. If it is investors, I focus on ROI [return on investment in the business]. When the audience is potential users, I talk more about our early adopters and how they are benefiting from our service in our beta test. I tell personal stories. Potential customers are asking for more stories and information. When you aren't talking to investors, personal stories mean a lot. Investors are less interested in stories, but they are still useful to make a connection.
How has your pitch changed over time?
Most people might think it evolves slowly over time, but my experience was that I threw out the entire pitch three times. Each time I did, it was considerably better. I tried to explain the business in a different way. It was risky, but it really paid off.
I learned from practice and feedback what not to say. Sometimes feedback would tell me that my pitch was unclear or that it created questions that were distractions. I realized some of the elements I thought were important to incorporate were better left out so that I could have a clear message.
I also spent a weekend watching TED talks. We [fellow entrepreneurs in the Top Gun class] always heard in our pitch practice that we had too many words on our slides. Then the audience is reading the slides instead of listening. In TED talks, the presenters have five slides – with only a few words. The pitch was the story. It didn't matter what was on the slides. So I took another risk and stripped my pitch down to five slides, and it was absolutely the right thing to do.
You are going to be on Greenlight Maine – what are you doing to prepare?
I am now a semi-finalist, and if I prevail in the first round, the judges will really dig into the business model in the next round. My prep will involve really studying my business model in a way that I can answer any question they throw at me. I know they will ask questions I can't anticipate – I just need to know the model really well, and then it won't matter what questions they throw out; I'll be prepared.
Anything else?
Entrepreneurs need to be able to talk about their business in a way that is consistent. Everyone can benefit from building a pitch and believing in it. Use your pitch to get help and feedback on your business idea.
We are very lucky to have so many opportunities to practice pitching in Maine and the Bangor area. A lot of places don't.
It was with the goal of creating opportunities for entrepreneurs to refine their pitch and business model that organizers from the Town of Orono, City of Old Town, University of Maine and Husson University started the Big Gig networking and pitch competition in 2013. Big Gig is structured to encourage would-be innovators and entrepreneurs to pitch their new ideas in a safe and supportive environment.
A lot more dolphin tank than shark tank, Big Gig has three entrepreneurs pitch their business idea and make connections with enthusiastic people in the community. A panel of "Big Wigs" provides feedback on the pitch, and the audience selects a winner who goes on to pitch in the Big Gig finale in April. The three pitchers for each Big Gig are chosen the prior week at the Little Gig: a closed pitch where the organizers provide advice and connections to everyone who participates, with the three selected pitchers getting important tips to enhance their pitch before the networking event.
While the event is intended to provide serious help to the participants, the organizers keep it lighthearted and entertaining for everyone who attends and participates, as evidenced by all of the wordplay infused into the event features. The audience ranges from connected investors and entrepreneurs to students from Husson and UMaine, many of whom go on to try their pitch at a later Little Gig.
The next season of Big Gig will get underway September 20 at Tiller and Rye in Brewer, as Big Gig expands to four preliminary events leading up to the finale this year. You can sign up to pitch before September 11 or sign up to attend at biggig.org

Siliconreview Team
Atomico-backed European startup, Teralytics, is testing out its big data opportunity. It has built a platform selling analytics services to customers such as agencies and transport companies that want to understand complex problems relating to human mobility - analyzing things like commute pressure points, or calculating the optimum location for a new road, or even monitoring urban air quality without deploying sensors.
The original idea for the business was spun out of ETH Zurich University, sparked by a conversation one of the co-founders had with a local telco which was looking for help analyzing commuter data on behalf of the government.
Co-founder Georg Polzer says that he and his co-founders ended up sleeping in the company's data center as they worked to write code to come up with the answer to the problem — though he notes he's past the point of personally pulling coding all-nighters himself now.
"Back at ETH we were doing a lot of data analysis and by living in Zurich, working in Zurich we got exposure to a Swiss telecom company," he tells TechCrunch, popular online publisher of technology industry news. "I got into a conversation with a person there, who mentioned the Swiss government wants to understand how long people travel across the country, to leave their home and reach their destination during the day, and that person at Swisscom said can you help us? And we said sure, we can do it. And with this project we started the company."
Teraltyics has raised around $44 million to date, telling TechCrunch its taken investment up to a Series C level, and amassing a team of 65 people working out of headquarters in Zurich and offices in New York and Singapore. Along with Niklas Zennström's Atomico fund, investors include Swiss VC firm Lakestar and Hong Kong-based Horizons Ventures.
Its current go-to-market proposition is focused on analyzing human mobility and behavior to meet the changing needs of urban planners and transport providers — sitting under another techie umbrella: smart cities.

In the early days of mixed martial arts, the sport was promoted as the ultimate proving ground for different disciplines to meet up and prove which was superior.
Bouts pitted karate fighters against sumo fighters, wrestlers against jiu-jitsu practitioners, and boxers against Taekwondo competitors. In the modern age of MMA, while every fighter has a base skill set, almost everyone understands the basics of boxing, wrestling, and jiu-jitsu, and rarely is anyone seen as one-dimensional any longer.
Strikeforce women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey trains every discipline of mixed martial arts, but it's hard to ignore her excellent judo and submission skills that led to an impressive 5-0 record with no fights making it out of the first round.
Rousey's judo has been so dominant that no one has ever even really had to chance to see the other parts of her game and how developed they may or may not be.
Former Strikeforce women's bantamweight champion Sarah Kaufman, who faces Rousey this Saturday night, knows she's not stepping into the cage with a one-dimensional fighter, but she also doesn't expect the former Olympic bronze medalist to try much of anything new against her.
"It's clear what Ronda likes to do. She likes to use her judo, which she's really good at. She likes to use her throws and she wants to transition to those fast submissions. I don't expect much different from her because going in for your first title defense, why fix something that's not broken? It's been working for you," Kaufman explained on MMAWeekly Radio.
In Rousey's last fight she submitted now former champion Miesha Tate by armbar in the first round, matching the exact way she finished her previous four opponents.
Looking at the match-up, Kaufman wasn't too surprised that the fight between Rousey and Tate ended the way that it did because of how they matched up against each other: Rousey, a judo player and submission artist, against Tate, who is primarily a wrestler and a grappler.
In other words, the fight was going to hit the ground at some point and that played right into Rousey's hands. Kaufman has no plans of being quite as inviting as Rousey's last opponent.
"You really haven't seen her against anyone yet who has been able to both challenge her on her feet as well as land those strong strikes on the ground. Once you're getting hit on the ground, your grappling changes when it's MMA. Miesha, she didn't fight the best fight, but she had Ronda in some quite dangerous positions and just wasn't able to capitalize on them," said Kaufman.
Kaufman's plan is to bring Rousey into unfamiliar waters and then drown her. She wants to land the knockout and bring the Ronda Rousey train to a screeching halt.
But for Sarah Kaufman, the ultimate motivation isn't beating Ronda Rousey, stealing her hype or even taking home the belt. It's just about the victory.
"I love winning and I hate losing and that's my motivation," said Kaufman.
"Of course, I want to get that title back. Of course, I want to be the best in the world and prove that to everyone, and have the recognition of having the Strikeforce bantamweight title."

Special equipment: One 9-inch round baking dish
For the prime rib: In a medium bowl, combine the mustards and peppercorns. Stir to blend until it forms a paste. Place the prime rib in the roasting pan (fitted with a rack) you intend to cook it in. Place the roast, fat side up, and spread the peppercorn paste over the whole top. If marinating, refrigerate overnight.
For the Yorkshire pudding: In a medium bowl, combine the flour and salt. Stir to blend. Whisk in the eggs, one by one, and then the water. Refrigerate.
For the prime rib: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator about a half hour before cooking. This will allow the meat to come closer to room temperature and help the meat cook more evenly. Season the roast with salt. When the oven is hot, place the meat in the center of the oven. Allow it to cook 12 to 15 minutes per pound (2 1/2 to 3 hours). Cook until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees F. When the roast is close to finished, remove the Yorkshire pudding mixture from the refrigerator to allow it to come close to room temperature. Then, remove the pan from the oven and allow the meat to rest at least 20 minutes before slicing.
To finish the Yorkshire pudding: Raise the temperature of the oven to 400 degrees F and place the baking dish for the Yorkshire pudding inside.
Whisk all of the warm milk and some of the melted butter into the batter. When the baking dish is hot, carefully remove it from the oven and quickly add the remaining melted butter to the dish. Pour the batter over the butter and place the dish in the center of the oven. Bake in the oven until golden brown and puffy, 30 minutes. Cut into 8 wedges and serve immediately with a slice of prime rib and some of the pan drippings.
It is essential to place the meat on a rack inside a roasting pan so the meat is elevated off the bottom of the pan. This will allow the heat in the oven to circulate all around the meat as it cooks. I count about 15 minutes per pound at 350 degrees F for the meat to cook. I cook it until it achieves an internal temperature of about 135 degrees F. So juicy! The Yorkshire pudding, which is traditionally made with beef drippings, tastes better to me made with unsalted butter.

Thomas Van Flein says the version of Sarah Palin depicted in the HBO film "Game Change" "bears no semblance to reality."
Van Flein, the former governor's legal counsel during the so-called Troopergate imbroglio, should know. He had almost daily contact with Palin during a critical time in the 2008 presidential campaign, prepping her for the deposition she gave in October that year regarding the Troopergate charges.
"She was focused, diligent and completely involved. I wouldn't have agreed for her deposition to go forward if she was depressed, fragile or emotionally distraught as portrayed in the movie," he tells Big Hollywood.
That's precisely the opposite of the "Game Change" Palin, a woman who appears alternately cruel and catatonic during the intense campaign.
Van Flein suggests it isn't just his word against the sources relied upon to construct the film. Palin's campaign plane had plenty of reporters on hand to cover the governor's every move. Certainly a few members of the press would have dutifully reported a "catatonic" or over-stressed vice presidential candidate had they witnessed on, he says.
Talk about a scoop.
Van Flein's association with Palin also introduced him to Steve Schmidt, the McCain/Palin campaign manager who provided HBO with much of its content. Schmidt was also one of the few people to talk on the record for the cable movie production, and his character emerges as the film's hero.
The legal eagle recalls his less than positive first encounter with Schmidt, a phone conversation in which the campaign manager yelled repeatedly and used profanity in trying to access emails from Palin's tenure as governor.
"I was troubled to learn he was the campaign manager," says Van Flein, who ended up participating in several campaign conference calls featuring Schmidt.
"My impression was that the campaign was being run by someone who was in over his head and was too emotional to handle the pressure of a campaign was reinforced," he recalls.
Palin's lawyer helped navigate the governor through the Troopergate scandal, one of many aspects of Palin's public life the film bungles.
"In reality, the Personnel Board issued a detailed report, based on thousands of emails, interviews and depositions, that completely cleared Governor Palin," he says, noting the film employs dialogue to indicate the complete opposite. "The film creates a false narrative of what actually occurred. To market this film as fair and factual is remarkable.
Then again, HBO seemed disinterested in finding out the truth, if its source selection is any indication.
"HBO never tried to contact me or, as far as I know, the other Alaskans who where working with Governor Palin at the time," he says. "The movie attempts to portray Governor Palin as a two dimensional left wing caricature."

A recent injury to UFC light heavyweight Forrest Griffin has not only resulted in his removal from a scheduled scrap at UFC 155 but, apparently, caused opponent Phil Davis' withdrawal as well. The two talented 205ers were set to serve as the December 29 event's co-headlining clash before Griffin went down with a torn MCL and strained ACL.
While it was initially thought the UFC would find a replacement for Griffin, organization head Dana White has confirmed Davis would be shifted to a different show based on the amount of time involved and a lack of a suitable substitute.
White's comments came to media during a pre-event press conference for UFC on FOX 5 and MMAWeekly was on hand to document them.
The 10-1 Davis is coming off a submission win in October over Brazilian Wagner Prado. He has also exited the Octagon with his hand raised against the likes of Brian Stann, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, and Alexander Gustafsson.

Have you been curious how the Occupy movement would be co-opted? Occupy Best Buy combines the red-hot protest movement with Black Power fist iconography in an effort to get people pumped up about buying plasma screen TVs or whatever it is they sell at Best Buy. Definitely the worst of the occupations to spring up so far. Best Buy claims that no affiliation with the web site, though one would suspect that it's a viral marketing effort:

I'm on vacation until September, and my work priority this summer is to prepare to team-teach a class on Technology & Privacy for the Winter 2010 quarter.
If you're interested in this topic and haven't read Privacy On the Line by Whitfield Diffie and Susan Landau and The Eavesdroppers by Samuel Dash, they are both excellent.
I'll probably post every few weeks, but, at the moment, my priorities are elsewhere.

No. 11 seed Florida takes on No. 6 seed Dayton on Sunday at 3 p.m. in a first-round game televised live on ESPN.
Florida All-SEC senior guard and former P. K. Yonge School standout Jaterra Bonds crossed off one of the top items on her 2014 to-do list as soon as the Gators' NCAA tournament at-large bid became official.
"I'm happy," said Bonds. "That was one of the things on my checklist that I said I wanted to do for my team, and we did it."
UF (19-12), a No. 11 seed, will take on No. 6 seed Dayton (23-7) Sunday at 3 p.m. at the Bryce Jordan Center in University Park, Pa., in a first-round game televised live on ESPN.
The winner advances to the second round Tuesday to play the winner of the game between No. 3 seed and host Penn State (22-7) and 14th-seeded Wichita State (26-6) that tips off at 12:30 p.m. on ESPN2 prior to the matchup between the Gators and Flyers.
"The excitement level is obviously very high, and I think it is for everybody that's still getting a chance to play this time of year and in particular this tournament," coach Amanda Butler said. "We're no exception. We've had a couple of great days of preparation leading up to the announcement, and then were able to start practicing with even a clearer vision. That really brings another level of anticipation of what's next."
The two teams are similar in many regards. Both like to play up-tempo, with the Flyers averaging 82 points a game this season while UF averages 75.1.
They also sport great balance. Five Flyers average double-figures in scoring, led by junior guard Andrea Hoover's team-high 17.2 points, while three UF starters have double-digit averages, led by Bonds' team-high 15.6-point mark.
The main difference is in height, with Dayton, which is in its fifth straight NCAA tournament, featuring 6-foot-4 junior forward Ally Malott and 6-foot-3 senior center Cassie Sant in the starting lineup while the Gators' top post players are 6-foot redshirt junior Kayla Lewis and 6-1 freshman Ronnie Williams.
Considering UF has succeeded despite being outsized in just about every game this year, the scenario is nothing new.
"We've been very resilient," Bonds said. "I don't think there's anything now that we haven't seen, faced or had to deal with. This is a tough team, and collectively we're real tight."
Bonds was quick to refer to the Gators' last venture to the Big Dance in her sophomore season (2012), when UF, a No. 9 seed, upset No. 8 seed and 16th-ranked Ohio State, 70-65, in a first-round game.
"It's who is going to lay it on the line and put everything in that they have," she said. "Last time was my first time being there, so I was like a little kid in the candy shop. I was just so excited, and it's a fun environment to play in."
Fellow senior Lily Svete is equally excited.
"It was always our goal from the beginning of the season to get to the NCAA tournament," Svete said. "We expected it, but we're really excited about it at the same time."
Butler, the first coach in program history to take Florida to the postseason in each of her first seven seasons (three NCAAs, four NWITs), is confident her team is ready.
"It's just a matter right now of making the right things important," she said. "It's not really different from the process we've been following, especially since the SEC season began. We've just got to keep doing the right things and trusting that process, being loyal to one another and staying committed to the investments that we're making every single day."

Mediocre Fight of the Day: WNBA vs LPGA
I apologize again to anyone we may offend with today's Mediocre Fight: WNBA vs LPGA. You have to admit, these are not the most popular sports in the US. What is also true, is the people who actually are watching these sports aren't watching them for the thrill of the competition. Have you looked at who's famous in the LPGA? Yeah, the hot ones. Same thing with tennis (not so much with basketball…..). I bet more guys out there could quote Anna Kournikova's measurements than they could her win/loss record. I mean, seriously. I could go into this in more detail and with more evidence but I feel like most of you out there would still be "Yeah yeah yeah, we get it."
Also, women are bad drivers. #ohsnap
As always, if you have a mediocre fight you'd like to see contact us any way your little heart desires. Leave a comment here, tweet us @MediocreFight, find us on Facebook, shoot us an e-mail at The Mediocre Fight, or send us a postcard from a remote location in North Dakota.
