I am getting published in a book!

I didn’t want to say anything on this blog until it was official, but today I got confirmation that some of my articles from Wise Bread will be published in an upcoming Wise Bread book.

The title is 10,001 Ways to Live Large on a Small Budget  and the release date is May 1st, 2009.  However, we already have preorder listings  on Amazon, Borders, and Barnes and Nobles!  Of course, the cheapest price is still Amazon.

All of the articles in the book are from Wise Bread and they will probably be edited a bit to suit the book format better, but this will be an awesome book because you will be able to read some of the best tips from Wise Bread in your bathroom.

I already told some of my family and friends and my dad said that he wants a free copy if possible.  If not, he would buy it and that he is my “most royal reader”.  My mom said that this book will help the people of America, which I thought was kind of funny.  I am probably not going to make money off this book at all since there about a dozen regular writers for Wise Bread and the book is a collection of materials that has already been published online.  However, it is still quite exciting because my ramblings have never been published in a book before.

An interesting anecdote I found out is that the publisher/editor said that frugal living books generally sold poorly in years past.  This is no surprise since people were more interested in spending money rather than saving money, but I am hoping that our book does better  in the current economic climate.

Anyway, I already got some mockups for the pages of book, and it looks pretty neat.   I am hoping that it would serve as a great promotional tool for Wise Bread, and also encourage people to save money.
