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

Published: September 5th, 2007
tell a friend

     Carolyn Howard-Johnson (yep, that’s her real name) wrote a book for the published and unpublished author that can make her readers feel as if they’ve earned a PhD in publicity. In this era of cash-crunched PR budgets and time consumed publishing house staff members, The Frugal Book Promoter is an important item for empowering any author’s publicity planning.

 

      First published in 2004, The Frugal Book Promoter is being updated with the newest information regarding contact information for publishers and editors, copyright filing methods and pricing, plus much more. Even so, the first edition of this marvelous publicity how-to kit in E-book or paperback form can teach you how to prepare your press releases, how to put together and t use a power-packed media release, how to select appropriate publicity materials, and how to strategize your PR efforts. You’ll be well on your way to learning how to stand out with attention-grabbing releases, how to build your media kit before you need it, and how to build your credentials as an author.

 

      Grab a highlighter in your favorite color to underscore the author’s tips for conquering your fears and how to power up your public relations efforts. You won’t have to go searching during subsequent readings for the author’s definitions of ARCs, her lists of excellent (and creative!) publicity ideas, the clues for assembling the puzzle pieces of your media release, and suggested reading materials, among other need-to-know items.

 

      Public relations work is not a game but a cleverly prepared campaign that accomplishes several goals for the PR client. The business has some critical no-no’s. Learn how to faultlessly finesse your needs without your publisher’s help, and without killing your budget or wishing you had one.

 

      When you get a publishing contract, you’ll be able to weigh its pros and cons with author Carolyn Howard-Johnson’s help in Chapter Eight. You’ll even learn what to demand for the dustcover of your book.

 

      How to benefit from writer’s conferences, book fairs, how to get book reviews and even how to use Amazon.com listings to your advantage as an author are part of this impressive publication.

 

      Carolyn Howard-Johnson is an experienced publicity expert. The Frugal Book Promoter: How to Do What Your Publisher Won’t is available in paperback or as an E-book.

Yet all are part of one neshamah, planted in rich, verdant soil, determined to grow. May our garden continue to produce a glorious assortment of flowers and trees, each attached firmly to its roots. Our diverse southern vegetation flourishes and grows into different trees, flowers, and fruits, and a rainbow of glorious shades and hues appears. Yet each shoot is rooted in the same soil, stretching its branches and blossoms heavenward in an endless pursuit of growth and connection to the One above.

This past Lag B’Omer, we were blessed to make our first upsherin, where we celebrate our son’s first hair cut. It’s a wonderful milestone that mimics the three years that we refrain from plucking a tree’s first fruits and symbolizes the entry of the child into the world of Torah learning. It’s a clear sign to everyone; this boy is no longer a baby.

The importance of death customs has been ingrained in me since birth. When I served as a shomeret for my grandmother, I was instructed not to eat, drink or perform a mitzvah in the same room. In the shock of death, it seemed rather inane to be told it would be considered mocking the dead. My grandmother was gone; she couldn’t do those things because she didn’t exist anymore, a fact that still makes me tear up.

Rav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv zt”l, who passed away on 28 Tammuz, (July18) this year at age 102, spent all of his days and most of his nights learning Torah. He was the paramount leader of our generation, and inspired tremendous awe and reverence in everyone who knew him. Now, every woman has the stunning opportunity to do something in his memory. A Sefer Torah is being written in his memory and women around the world have the chance to dedicate a letter.

Breathe deeply. You’ll need maximum physical and spiritual power to absorb the uplifting lessons in this book. Page 249 explains why some Jews are praised as “fish on dry land,” a phrase that describes Moshe Rabeinu. Am Yisrael began to appreciate his depth of character at kriat Yam Suf, realizing that “he lived in the revealed world as though he were in the concealed world.”

The Hebrew-English haggada provides a wealth of photographic evidence of the lives led by Ethiopian Jews. The pottery, the unembellished homes, school, and synagogues, the gaunt Jews in modest clothing and head coverings portray dedication to Torah values despite harsh political and topographical conditions.
