I read Scalzi's books, but I most get the audiobook versions because Wil Wheaton does such a good job of taking a pretty good book and making it really good.
I love SF&F, but I simply have different taste in books than their editors do. So, when I get the feedback surveys I'm sure that they get a very mixed signal from me.
But the real point of this is why don't more imprints put out news letters and publicize their authors and books? It just baffles me.

I have to admit, I feel the same as you. I always skim their newsletters, and most times I get sucked into one story or another. But for whatever reason, I rarely am interested in the particular books they're listing.
Some of the authors I follow do occasional newsletters. But quite a few moved all that to Facebook, which I despise.
