Linda Barnett-Johnson Finds Frugal Book Promoter a Help with Her Book Tour
The second edition of my The Frugal Book Promoter was recently reviewed on Amazon by Linda Barnett-Johnson and I thought I'd use it as an occasion to remind subscribers and visitors to this blog that this multi award-winning book makes a lovely gift for any author or aspiring author because it's a gift that keeps giving, keeps contributing to his or her writing career. This review makes it clear that it is one of those books one can keep referring to again and again.

I am always in the market for books on helping my author clients in promoting their books. The Frugal Book Promoter is one of those books that I bought. What I like about this book is the easy format; table of contents; easy to find categories; how-to’s and much more.
I love the word “frugally” because that in itself is what I am. I don’t have the big bucks to buy ads or other marketing strategies. I like giving my authors reliable information and tactics without them having to pay high dollar for it.
I was interested in the social marketing and blog marketing and “The Frugal Book Promoter” was there to help. Since I have never done a “book tour” before, it was easy to read and follow. I had my first book tour in March.
There are many interesting subjects:
Amazon - How to set up your books and much more;
Blogs;
Book launches;
Book tours;
Contests;
E-mail marketing;
Resources and Reviews;
And don’t forget “writing”
Anything from A-Z. She has researched and used her methods and it shows.
There are many quotes and anecdotes from other authors and writers.
If you want your book promotions to go easier, I would recommend her books. I have them all and will use them over-and-over.

Morgan St. James Reviews Her Oft-Referenced Book on Book Promotion
The Frugal Book Promoter:
Subtitle: How to get nearly free publicity on your own or partnering with your publisher
(Second Edition)
From the HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers
First Edition Awards: Winner USA Book News, coveted Irwin Award
Award for Second Edition: USA Book News winner, silver medal from Military Writers Society of America, e-book honored by Global Ebook Awards
Five or five stars
IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE THIS BOOK, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GET IT
By Morgan St James "MYSTERY LOVER" (California) originally for Amazon.
This review is from: The Frugal Book Promoter: Second Edition: How to get nearly free publicity on your own or by partnering with your publisher. (How to Do It Frugally) (Paperback)
Carolyn Howard-Johnson should be called the "Guru of Frugal Promotion." Her ideas, suggestions and references are absolutely spot-on. I've been referring to this book for promotion of my books ever since I got it. With my 11th book. "La Bella Mafia" due to come out, once again I thumbed through it to find the most important things to put in the Media Kit because promotion for this book will be going to several major outlets in TV, radio and newspapers. You would think by Book #11, including my own book about writing, I'd have it down pat, but every time I refer to "The Frugal Book Promoter" I find new things that will save me money and make my books more visible.

Midwest Review Raves About Book as Author Aid
Title: Book Fairs for Authors
Subtitle: How to Leverage Book Fairs to Build Your Author PlatformAuthors: Larry DeKay with Peggy DeKay
Authors' Website: www.tbowt.com
Genre/Category: Writing – Reference – How-To
ISBN: 9780983414438
Journal Published: Small Press Bookwatch: January 2015
Reviewed by Jim Cox originally for Midwest Book Review and for MidWest Book Review Newsletter
Synopsis: Dozens of book fair links are included in "The Author's Guide to Book Fairs", an essential resource and reference for all authors, both traditionally published and self-published, who want to learn how to leverage book fairs to build their platform and sell more books. "Book Fairs For Authors" covers why you go to a book fair; who can be in a book fair; where to find book fairs; applying to be in a book fair; preparing to go to the book fair; tips on engaging buyers at the book fair; post book fair marketing; and book fair traps and pitfalls. "Book Fairs For Authors" is enhanced with the inclusion of a list of book fairs by state; a list of book festivals by state; resources for authors; book expos and trade shows.
Critique: Informed, informative, exceptionally well organized and presented, as well as thoroughly 'user friendly' from beginning to end, "Book Fairs For Authors" should be considered mandatory reading for authors and publishers who hope to expand the audience for their books -- and the financial revenues that expanded readership would engender.
