Endorsements: "I’m a writer who would love to have someone else take over the editing and proofreading stages of my manuscripts because I hate editing, proofreading, and rewriting. Ms. Howard-Johnson’s techniques and her encouragement from page to page of THE FRUGAL BOOK EDITOR lifts my spirits to the level where I can approach these hated tasks in a better attitude and get the job done. I advise all writers to obtain a copy of THE FRUGAL BOOK EDITOR and keep it handy as your write." ~Lucille P. Robinson, reviewer for Alternative Read ~~~ Wow. What more can I say? [The Frugal Book Promoter is] interesting, informative, readable and more. Easy to follow, quotes and technique mixed in together wonderfully. This is an A-one job. Watch out world! I’m going to have to put it under my pillow ~ Leora G. Krygier, author of First the Raven and When She Sleeps ~~~
Just visiting your website
gives me ideas and prompts me. It's very inspiring to meet and now
know such an energetic fellow writer. You are wonderfully dedicated
to our craft.
I was i... was quite
impressed with their USA Book News' booth at Book
Expo America and
Jeff's efforts on all our behalf. ~

"AC is the current that propels your writing career." The photo of the book display stand at the right illustrates the kind of products useful for authors available on the site along with hundreds of other resources and services. The photo below illustrates a banner and sign that marketing tests told members of Authors' Coalition work better than any sign ever has. The secrets here are the adjustable height, the picture of the author that tells the crowds that the author is there in person signing and using the words "Author Now Signing." The double-sided feature is terrific, too, for when you aren't in the booth. Learn more by sending an e-mail.
