Letters to the Editor
"When I
finished my first novel, Edges, O Israel, O Palestine, I was in
tears. Not my usual tears about letting go of my creation, but tears
because the world of publishing, promotion, publicity was a hostile
enemy camp, I was lost in anxiety bordering on paranoia bordering on
terror. How in the world does a novice author navigate this
guerilla warfare without a bankroll? There were so many promises
made by publicist charging over $5,000 a month!
"Carolyn, as your
excellent review has noted, DOES make you feel as if you've earned
an PhD in publicity. she gives your confidence and arms you well,
like a good pacifist. Her non-violent approach is about frugal,
common sense practical ways of making your book visible and read.
"As you also say in this review.. "In this era of cash-crunched PR
budgets and time consumed publishing house staff members, The
Frugal Book Promoter is an important item for empowering any
author’s publicity planning. "
"Thanks for letting others know about our dear Carolyn Howard-Johnson
(uh..yes, that is her real name)."

Endorsement for Carolyn's newsletter, which is an
extension of Frugal Book Promotion knowledge:
"The
text-based Sharing with Writers e-newsletter
published by Carolyn Howard-Johnson, author of
the Frugal Book Promoter and other truly insightful
tomes, is probably the best electronic publication
that comes across my screen.
 "Sharing with
Writers is always loaded with practical tips and
advice. It takes me only seconds to implement the
ones that hold promise for my books, and many of
those I’ve tried have led to definitive results like
more traffic to my website, participation in a new
online venue or more exposure to libraries and the
book buying trade. The newsletter provides a
by-product of camaraderie with other authors and
promoters in the community that reads Sharing with
Writers, sharing motivation among the members."

Even The Frugal Book
Promoter popped for this banner and stand after watching
fair-goers go ga-ga over authors using them when we did a
test at the Authors' Coalition booth at the LA Times/UCLA
Festival of Books. They are available from
Authors' Coalition.

In
The Frugal Book Promoter I suggest writing one great
thank you letter a day as an part of a great promotion
campaign. Here is an example of a great one. All the
elements are there!
Can't tell you how much I have learned from
your book. My only lament is that my publisher didn't give
it to me with the advance! My ARCS comes out next month
along with my galleys. I'm so far behind the power curve,
it almost funny. None-the-less, your book is God sent and
will make such a difference for me, thanks so much. I've
even talked my publisher into providing a copy of your book
with each new contract. They are small, so I doubt that you
be able to afford that new Lexus on
the difference, but what the heck.
My publisher has added me to the Author's page and Books
page of the website.
http://onstagepublishing.com/ . The Advance Reader Copy
(ARC) and Galleys will be ready in early March. We plan a
book release date of May. More details as they become
available.
Here's my website: (
www.skyway-to-asia.com ), or you can Google - Flying
Boats & Spies. I realize you must be very busy but any
comments you care to send my way, would be most appreciated.
(Hey, in your book, you're the one who said to ask ... ;^)
My first blubs are below, I'm learning, but slowly...
"Delightful! Flying Boats & Spies is a welcome return to a
glamorous age
of high-adventure and heroes and a tribute to the
grand-adventure series
of yesteryear. Rollicking and great fun, this well-told tale
of
international intrigue should appeal to every generation in
a family. I
look forward to future volumes in this series." - Ralph
Peters, author
of Wars Of Blood And Faith
"'Return with us now to those thrilling days of
yesteryear...'Flying
Boats and Spies pays stirring tribute to the classic
adventurers of the
impossibly romantic pre-World War II period, adding depth,
realism, and
charm in liberal measure." - Michael Dobson, co-author of
Fox on the
Rhine and MacArthur's War.
Thanks again and feel free to use anything I wrote - if
you'd like.
Respectfully,
Jamie F. Dodson,
