The Great First Impression Book Proposal Everything You Need to Sell Your Book in Twenty Minutes or Less From Amazon Shorts: Because you have little time or patience for learning what you hate to do, but what you must do. "...you can't go wrong in faithfully following Carolyn Howard-Johnson's advice in her INVALUABLE eighteen page book proposal." ~ Frances Lynn, author of Crushed
So, this is it. My new Amazon Short. Didn't they do a great job of the cover? The reason I did this as a short is that there are lots of other books on writing proposals out there. The thing is, writers generally hate to write proposals. They don't even much want to learn about writing them. So, why a whole book when you can do it in 20 minutes or less? The introduction to the short will give you the whole story behind the writing of it and in the body of this mini book you'll have the makings of a Great First Impression Book Proposal: Everything You Need to Sell Your Book in Twenty Minutes or Less. for only 49 cents. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000YG6O5U/

By Kathe Gogolewski "Author of fiction for child... (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews Like it or not, writing a book proposal is as important to a writer as writing the next book...because the next book will likely be long in coming if the first one never gets off the ground! In this concise yet informative instruction manual on how to write a book proposal, author Carolyn Howard-Johnson offers a long list of golden-nugget-TO-DOs and smart ideas which can help guide writers past the GateKeepers in this business. These guards are constantly on the look-out for entertaining, professional and out-of-the-box book proposals, and Howard-Johnson, a life-long writer and promtional expert, offers information that even the veterans would do well to digest.~~~ "How can I thank you and let me count the ways"...I know it's nothing 'til it's something but I'm so glad you told me to go the BEA. I made contact with 3 senior editors who asked me to send out a book proposal to their publishing company this week. I'm nervous and excited. It took me 12 hours to write the 1st page. It's so much harder for me to do the proposal than it was to write the book. It might take more than this week to do the proposal but I guess that would be ok...Thanks again. I will forever be grateful to you regardless of the outcome. xox.~Diane Ward, soon-to-be published author
The Frugal Book Promoter: How to Do What Your Publisher Won't I’ve long recommended John Kremer’s 1001 Ways to Market Your Books, but until now, I didn’t have many other “staples” to recommend to new authors looking for publicity. ~ Jenna Glatzer, author of Make a Real Living as a Freelance Writer editor of AbsoluteWriter.com The Frugal Editor: Put Your Best Book Forward to Avoid Humiliation and Ensure Success "Nothing demonstrates professionalism like a well-edited submission. Follow Carolyn Howard-Johnson's clear, step-by-step self-editing approach in The Frugal Editor and you'll submit like a pro." ~ Gregory A. Kompes, conference coordinator, Las Vegas Writer's Conference ~~~ The Frugal Editor: Don't let the title fool you. This book is for ANY writer. If you want to submit a professional, Polished piece, Carolyn's book is a must-have! I learned more in Frugal Editor than in four years fo advanced college English..."~ B.J. Bramblett, author of two horsey whodunits, Sliding Stop and Flying Change. ~~~ ". . . all that you do for writers, . . . all that you do in the way of sharing information. Priceless!" ~Barbara Marshak, author Hidden Heritage Head to Head Audio series Your audio class awoke a spark in me that had simmered down to a mere sizzle. Your audio, listening to your voices, made me feel a part of your own promotional gang and for this it is I who would like to thank you." ~ Lea Schizas, reviewer for The Muse Book Reviews and editor of Apollos Lyre.com
