I like it. Great way to promote yourself based on a recent success. Clean, simple and to the point. Is there a way you could modify the book artwork so that your name pops out a little, say reverse it out or something?

(Edited to add:) Also, I must say the word "free" hit me a little bit. You know, in a way, anything "free" must not be worth much. Would it matter to just say, "Listen to this audiobook at http:........."?

I think you're right about the "free". I'll change it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Unfortunately, I can't adjust the artwork.

Jeff,

I think Brett's comments are well taken, and in particular agree that in this case "free" might not include the associations you want to evoke.

indeed, they are well taken, Bob. I've adjusted the postcard to reflect it.

I don't see any mention of a "committment fee" for those who request a free audition?

Jeff I really like it as well. Without the "free" it's ready to go out.

Best of Luck,

Chris
