"I am
waiting on answers to the proposals I sent out for my 4th book,
PALMS READ IN LOVE & LIGHT. I used almost every trick (I mean
technique) in your Amazon Short [The Great First Impression Book
Proposal], too. I hope a traditional publisher takes it . . .

"In
the wake of the Erma Bombeck conference, I'm finding The
Frugal Editor every bit as pithy and humane as The Frugal
Book Promoter. You really find the heart of a sometimes
disheartening business! By all means, keep more of my gremlins
at bay with your editing handout!" ~

ideas for those who want to improve their book sales and writing
careers. It offers free content to editors, producers, webmasters and
others seeking clear, concise articles that won't put their readers into

What if you created a
webpage using excerpts from the applauded Frugal Book Promoter

Imagine the credibility
afforded your web or print-based media with the respected name of
the HowToDoItFrugally series attached to it!
Suppose you put the
added power of the name Carolyn Howard-Johnson behind your project.
Imagine that all this
requires merely a byline and tagline, something you would do anyway
to give your articles the credibility they deserve. Of course,
logos, book cover art and thumbnail photos are also available at no
charge. Just
ask.
Now that works!
Just click the titles below
that will entice your readers, copy and publish. Please use the bylines
and taglines included with each article. If you need to edit or shorten
the material, please seek the approval of the author. If you don't see
here what you need, contact

Tip
Experts in the publishing field understand that reviews,
articles and tips are more credible when they are attributed
to a specific writer or expert. Even the venerable New
York Times tags their op-ed features with information on
the contributor.

Former book

don't read manuscripts. They read book proposals. In
Book
Proposals That Sell: 21 Secrets to Speed Your Success, you

recommend it.

Promotion Services
You'll find
direction in the Frugal Book Promoter for building your own media
kit; if you choose not to build your own, the information there will
make you a better partner for a publicist you might hire to help you. I
recommend PressKit 24/7, the brainchild of publicists with over forty
years' experience. We know the speed at which you need to work, and we
know what it takes to get the media's attention. It was critical for us
to be able to create professional online press kits for our own clients.
So we understand what you need for yours.
