Carolyn's first book in the HowToDoItFrugally series of books for writers,
The Frugal Book Promoter, will help writers act as their own publicist.

Some authors who do not have tight publishing budgets
or have very little time may still want to hire professional help.

In that case, The Frugal Book Promoter
will help them partner better with a publicist.
Just scroll down a bit.

The Frugal Book Promoter: How To Do What Your Publisher Won't
is a multi Award Winner:

to research if you want a full-service publicist.

Important
Publicity Resources

Book Proposal Help

Former book acquisitions editor Terry Whalin says, "editors and publishers don't read manuscripts. They read book proposals. In Book Proposals That Sell: 21 Secrets to Speed Your Success, you learn the inside scoop to achieve your dreams." I highly 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.
