Hi Folks

So, my book is supposed to be winging its way to my door and now I am in the process of preparing for marketing stuff. I hope you don't mind me sucking your brains but I have a request that needs many heads.

Basically, I am assembling a list of academics to whom I might send a book announcement, or even a desk copy of the book for their consideration for use in classes. What I would love help is the following:

IF YOU ARE AN STUDENT:

I'd love to hear any memory of a class you took in the past or you've heard of being offered at your school in the following areas:

--cyberculture or internet studies
--cultural studies
--women's or gender studies
--film studies (particularly contemporary uses of film)
--sociology and youth culture or social networks
--performance studies
--anything else you think might mesh with a book like Camgirls

If you could tell me who is teaching it and/or where it's been offered, I'll do the legwork and locate the contact info. And I certainly wouldn't mention your name when contacting the person unless you said that was okay. My intention wouldn't be to spam anyone, but rather to send offers of desk copies to appropriate folks.

IF YOU ARE A TEACHER:

I'd love to know of any colleagues you have in the above areas who might be interested in getting a desk or review copy of the book. Again, I wouldn't mention your name unless you expressly told me that was okay. I'm just looking for knowledge-sharing along the lines of "So and so does that at my school; they might be interested, why don't you write and see?"

I'm also very interested in hearing from people who might consider reviewing the book, both for scholarly journals, but also for blogs around the net.

As ever, I promise free beer and a big smooch to anyone kind enough to help a sister out.

THANKS!
