Invitation to mumsnet book launch

1 reply

Hi there

For anyone out there who doesn't yet know, the first mumsnet book, "Mums On Babies", is due to be released on March 30th. Thanks to all of you for all your contributions - we certainly couldn't have done it without you and we really hope you like the book .

The publishers, cassell-illustrated, are having a party to launch the book and hopefully drum up some press interest and we wondered if some of you who allowed your contributions to be used might like to come along. The party is being held at The Sanctuary in Covent Garden, London on Tuesday April 8th from 7-9pm and we have 75 invites to give away to the first 75 contributors who email [email protected] and say they want to come. It should be a good evening, with drinks and canapes and the odd hand or neck massage thrown in. There will be a group press photo taken during the evening ("the book we wrote" etc.) and your acceptance of the invitation means that you consent to appear in the photo.

Apologies if some of you have had this invite by email already. We had lots of "bad" email addresses when we tried to send an invite out to all the book contributors, so we thought it was fairer if we let folks know via Talk.

Hope to see lots of you there.

Congrats on being authors and thanks again,

Carrie, Justine & Rachel

Hi Everyone,

A few people have expressed concern that they didn't get an invite to the book launch party. Any mumsnet member who'd like to come is very welcome to email us at [email protected] and we'll send you an invite by email, subject to numbers of course.

So, why didn't you get an invite?

There are a number of possible reasons.

We initially invited people whose talk nickname appear in the book. There were about 350 and about 65 of these emails bounced back in various ways because of bad email addresses and so on. If you are concerned you are not getting email from us when you should, then it's worth checking that you have set up your member profile page with the correct email address. We have quite a few that say @hotmail or @aol rather than @hotmail.com or @aol.com for example. When you click the link, log in with your talk nickname rather than your email adress -in case your email address is wrong.

Also, when you joined, or since then, you may have checked the box with the text says "We occasionally send email notices with news from mumsnet (including our fortnightly parenting news round-ups and individually-tailored developmental emails charting your childs progress). Please tick here if you do NOT wish to receive these notices." If you have checked this box then generally we won't send any email to you.

Finally, if we get email "bounce" messages from your address saying it's not valid, then we mark that address as "bad" and won't try to send to it in future.

If you have any further concerns about this or anything else, then drop us a note at [email protected] and we'll look into it. (In general, it's better to send mail to contactus rather than tech, as you are more likely to get a timely response as more people see mails to contactus.)
