"Nothing demonstrates professionalism like a well-edited submission. Follow Carolyn Howard-Johnson's clear, step-by-step editing approach for putting your best book forward and you'll submit like a pro." — Gregory A. Kompes, conference coordinator, Las Vegas Writer's Conference
"The Frugal Book Promoter. I love it. Most authors don't have deep pockets for publicity, promotion, and marketing; this is the kind of information we need! The chapter on the perks available on Amazon is a perfect example of the kind of practical advice offered—the kind that took me months to discover." — Rolf Gompertz, author, veteran publicist for NBC, and 30-year UCLA Extension instructor in marketing |
