No Parade for PublishAmerica

Dear author: "Nothing happens until somebody sells something." This famous line was coined by Parade, by far the nation's largest magazine. Parade has a weekly circulation of 32 million, is inserted in more than 500 newspapers, and is read by 70 million Americans. We are going to bring you and your book to the attention of Parade! No other print medium introduces so many positive stories and positive people to its readers. Parade is beloved by everyone who finds it in their Sunday newspaper. Once somebody, or something, is presented to the American people by Parade, instant fame and recognition is virtually assured. Your book connects to regular people on Main Street. Every-day folks can identify with your own life story. All you need is a big magnifying glass, so that a crowd gets to hear about you and your book. Parade is often such a magnifying glass. We're going to tell Parade about you and your book. Go to www.publishamerica.net/service/Parade.html to activate, for $49. Your book and name will be included in our presentation to Parade. We will urge them to review and pursue your story for one of their mid-January or later issues. Parade serves America's Main Street, and so does your book! If you want to receive your own copy of our presentation for Parade, go to www.publishamerica.net/service/MyParade.html and you will get it in the mail early next month. Thank you, and merry Christmas! --PublishAmerica Bookstore. Well, Parade Magazine says otherwise.
