Test Marketing a Book Idea While Working as a Cabbie in Fairbanks Alaska

Reading back what he had just written in his journal on a coffee break Cabbie Miles Cobbett.

“ROMAN LEFTHANDED LOSINSKI – that’s the name of a boxer!”

said an Alaskan writer feeling like he had ‘just struck the pay dirt’ of a marvelous idea.

“It is? – Well I’ve never heard of him!” said a friend.

“In my new book it is!” replied the author.

Five days later the author Miles Cobbett brought a semi-polished draft of Chapter One to share with friends at a favorite cafe. Encouraged by their positive responses, and by their requests for more of the story, he continued to work on the rest of the book during daylight hours; and worked to pay the bills by shuttling passengers to-and-from the Fairbanks Airport as a night-time cab driver. Then he hired OfficeMax Print Services to handle the job of printing multiple copies for his own “Test Marketing Program.” Over the next fourteen months, he personally handed out over 3,000 copies of, either the first chapter, or the first three chapters of his book to Alaskan travelers, friends neighbors and acquaintances. The positive response from readers of all ages was enormous. Read a sample of what some of those readers of Champion had to say:

“Thank you very much for your story, I liked it a lot!” said a nine year old reader.

“I liked the part where Roman knocks the mean guy down,” said another young reader.

“Wow that was great reading. What happens next?” replied a reader via email.

“I liked Roman. When can I get more chapters?” said Susan George from Juneau, Alaska.
