Here are links on this site where you will learn more about Carolyn Howard-Johnson's books, audios and more--written with the welfare of authors in mind:

• Audios I coproduced to share the ins 'n' outs of writing, book promotion and marketing on the net.
• Other publishing including shorter works.
• The Frugal Book Promoter, my way to share the pitfalls of publishing with other authors in hope they won't fall into the same potholes I did.
• The Frugal Editor, second in the HowToDoItFrugally series, sharing my system for keep editing gremlins at bay.
• The Great First Impression Book Proposal: How to Sell Your Book in 20 Minutes or Less (An Amazon Short).

Tip When I turned from journalism and other nonfiction writing to my first novel, I thought I would have no trouble with that art form. After all, I had been an English Lit major and read more novels than anyone should ever be required to read. I was wrong. I needed to go back and relearn as if it were a complete separate art form. Since then I've noticed many others who would have benefited from some relearning. Thus the Audio Divas include many one-hour segments on the craft of writing. I also suggest classes taught through college extension divisions -- particularly those with writing departments. The reason? There is way too much misinformation circulating on the elements of fiction!  Find at least one tip on writing, promotion or tech on every page of this website.

Endorsement for Carolyn's newsletter, an extension of her teaching and sharing efforts:

Just wanted to send a quick note about Sharing with Writers, Carolyn Howard Johnson's weekly e-newsletter. I honestly don't know how she does it. The woman is an incredible dynamo, what with her many speaking engagements, writers' group helmswomanships, and everything else she does. I'm half her age and she wears me out!

Sharing with Writers is filled with helpful tips, valuable contacts, wonderful advice and invaluable support for everyone on her list. The newsletter appears promptly and never disappoints. I've found more than a few segments that have helped me in my quest to promote what I feel will be the next billion dollar kids' story. Please consider Carolyn's newsletter for any award you administer. She is truly a guiding light for her many followers.~Kevin Gerard Kilpatrick
