The Frugal Book Promoter: How to Do What Your Publisher Won’t

ISBN: 193299310X Star Publish

For only a few cents a day The Frugal Book Promoter assures your book the best possible start in life. Full of nitty gritty how-tos for getting nearly-free publicity, Carolyn Howard-Johnson, an instructor for UCLA’s Writers’ Program, shares her professional experience as well as practical tips gleaned from the successes of her own book campaigns. She tells authors how to do what their publishers can’t or won’t and why authors can often do their own promotion better than a PR professional. Frugal was named USA Book News "Best Promotion Book" and the Book Publicists of Southern Califonnia awarded it their Irwin Award.

The Complete Writer is a book is a compendium written by four experienced writers whose experience entails publishing, editing, freelance writing, consulting and more. They write fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. Aimed at emerging writers, it covers all the basics. It is available on Amazon, at www.redenginepress.com and, of course, as a freebie with an Authors' coalition Gold Membership or above.

These three books shown are available free with gold, platinum and star memberships.
