Win Books That Can Make A Difference in Your Writing Career

I love Bookbuzzr.com. For their page-turning book widgets that help me with my marketing. And for the way they promote their participating authors. Now they are running a contest that will make a difference to winners because the prizes are gifts that keep giving. They're books! (Of course!) Books that will make you a more successful author and help your book soar to the top of bestseller lists! Books like The Frugal Book Promoter and The Frugal Editor.

Best Selling Author TV To Be at LA Times Festival of Books

Big Video News!

Rey Ybarra, the interviewer for the video many of you have seen and commented on is fantastic. So is his cameraman, Randy Detroit, and so is the equipment they use! And so is their knowledge about getting that video out to places that most authors know little about.

They will be filming at the Authors' Coalition booth at the LA Times Fair April 26 and 27th with a special introductory price for videos. I'm hoping lots of authors drop by to see what this team can do for them besides film a really nice video. Learn more at www.bestsellingauthortv.blogspot.com .

Explore the videos they have done there. Check out Rey's amazing past in radio and TV.

There will be more on this opportunity in my newsltter later. You can subscribe by sending me an e-mail at hojonews@aol.com. Use the same e-mail address to make advance appointments or ontact me with questions.
