How did this book come about?
In 2011, Anne Marie Blackman had been selling her upcycled hand-crafted ugly Christmas sweaters online for a few years and was receiving extensive press coverage for both her creative Christmas sweater and her entrepreneurial success.  She had the idea to publish a book that would showcase pictures of both her own funny Christmas sweaters as well as some of the best of the best holiday sweater photos from the internet. 

But how to get a book published?  Anne Marie reached out to Brian Clark Howard who had written about Anne Marie's ugly Christmas sweaters online and who had several books of his own successfully published. Brian was a fan of Anne Marie's sweaters and was a professional writer. Working together, Anne Marie and Brian were able to put together a deck to present and secure a literary agent who then pitched the book idea to publishers. Upon securing a contract with a publisher, Anne Marie and Brian developed the book layout and choose photos from Anne Marie's or Brian's stock or secured rights to use outside photos from the internet or friends. After going through the editing process, the book was published in 2012.

Anne Marie had already made media connections from interest in her successful website (MyUglyChristmasSweater.com) and reached out to many outlets to promote the book. The books' publisher assigned a press agent to Anne Marie and the book was promoted on major news networks. Anne Marie appeared on shows like CNN Headline News, The Today Show and Fox and Friends promote the book and showcase her over-the-top holiday sweater creations.
