Vanessa Van Edwards FaceTimes friends and jokingly issues citations until they agree to pre-order her book Conversation. The video covers hardcover, ebook, and Audible formats, with a push to buy through indie bookstores and Barnes & Noble.
Hi.
What is happening? Answered like that was normal. You have been called to court. In fact, Cody, my friend. Are you in fact Lacey, one of my best friends? Are you in fact Melissa, my friend?
Yes. Yes, I am. Yes.
You have been issued a citation. I was looking through my extensive research, all of my records, and I have no record that you have pre-ordered my book yet. What? This is so amazing! Is it out? Do you need an alert? As my friend, have you also ordered the hardcover? Brendan, your, your punishment is 5 copies, 1 Audible, 1 ebook, and on Barnes& Noble too. And I would like you to order the ebook. What do you mean? What? I sent you a text.
Actually, no, that's not the truth, Ellen. You were invited.
Well, then you're a good friend. Available wherever books are sold. It's ready for preorder? It's ready for preorder. Fine, you have to go to your indie bookstore because we got to support our indie bookstores. Yeah, you can. You go into the store or you call them and you're like, hi, there's this amazing new book coming out. It's called Conversation by Vanessa Van Edwards. Could you order 3 copies for me and 5 for your store? Because she's great.
No, I'm on it. Okay, love you. Bye. I love you more. Bye.
