Dear Carolyn,
Since learning about your fantastic marketing web sites and
books,
I've not only recommended them to others, but also am drawing
heavily
upon your marketing expertise for Port Yonder Press, a newer
indie
press from Iowa that I'm working with. Bless you and your
marvelous
wisdom, especially for all of us who must market largely on our
own.
~ Lisa Lickel, Editor,
Creative Wisconsin Magazine,
and Port Yonder Press

Tip
Publishing isn't what it
used to be. There are so many kinds. Partner-, subsidy,
traditional- and self-publishing and all kinds or
pollination goes on between these categories. So ask
questions and study hard before you select one.
Find at least one tip on writing,
promotion, or tech on every page of this Web site.

tenured full professor of journalism. Carolyn's Sharing with
Writers newsletter is most useful for me--and for my

100% out there called promotion. Carolyn shows numerous ways to

"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!
