An Excellent Book for Authors Got Even Better With This Updated Version

When I want to increase my understanding of book promotion, I turn to sources with experience and wisdom. One of those sources is Carolyn Howard-Johnson and her excellent, THE FRUGAL BOOK PROMOTER. The information in this book is practical and tested and perfect for a first-time author or one with many published books. The experienced voice of the author echoes on each page of this book. It's not just theory but these are ideas Howard-Johnson has put into practice with results.

As she writes toward the end of her book, "It's never too late and it's never too early to promote. Rearrange your thinking. Marketing isn't about a single book. It's about building a career. And new books can build on the momentum created by an earlier book, if you keep the faith. Review the marketing ideas in this book, rearrange your schedule and priorities a bit, and keep at it." (Page 364)

This new edition has more than 100 additional pages from the first edition yet THE FRUGAL BOOK PROMOTER is practicing frugality--and maintains the same retail price as the first edition. I recommend every author get this book and take action on the multitude of ideas.

What a nice place to sit down, have a cup of CAFE and read about books. Thank you so much for this review, Terry. It was a fortuitous day I met you that day we both presented at the Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop at Dayton University. (You can tell that I believe in networking! (-: ) Best, Carolyn
