Despite critical acclaim, years of work, and literally every penny I have, very few people even know Falling Uphill exists. If you enjoyed re-living the adventure, and re-imagining life, please help spread the word.
-
Tell your friends. This is the number one way to help. Most book sales are a direct result of word-of-mouth. Perhaps, email your friends a personal recommendation. Or post a link on your website or Facebook page.
- Gift. Give your friends "Falling Uphill" as a real-life example of how to create real hope and change in yourself and therefore the world. Or request your local library order a copy.
- Write a review. Try Amazon or Goodreads, you can even submit a review to your local paper or community newsletter (such as a bike club).
- Special events. Scott's slideshows and inspirational talks have inspired thousands. Recommend Scott at your next business meeting, church event or to your school PTO.
Dinner party & book reading.
This is one of the easier, more fun and direct ways to help. Create a Falling Uphill dinner party and read a chapter from the book. You can even invite Scott for a personal slideshow and book signing.
Contact your favorite newspaper, radio or TV station. The media is always thirsty for new stories, and most show great interest in a story about a man who rode a bicycle around the world, and now that there is a book and a book tour, they'll be even more interested to share the inspiration with their audience. An email or phone call only takes a few minutes. Cut-and-paste this letter to the media and send it to your favorite national shows.
