[Regia-NA] Re: Regia,higher public profile?

[Douglas Sunlin]

I may curse myself for this later, but I do have some small training and 
experience in public relations, from my days in the Navy. While it may not 
be as professional as Regia deserves, at least I'm free/cheap!

If anyone would like to brainstorm with me on publicity options, I'm more 
than willing. I have offered my opinions on this previously.

The bottom line is there are broadcasters and publishers who badly need new 
subject material, and would be overjoyed if we supplied it. The bad news is 
it would be difficult for GS people to get their attention without holding a 
public event; then they may be induced to bring their newscameras.

As far as the book is concerned, something like Kim's book would do the 
trick, but expanded into "coffee table" size and tarted up with piccies.

I haven't seen anyone post ads in magazines such as Renaissance; this would 
also be a good course.
