Award-Winning Author Continues Trend

Author-Publicist’s New Book Garners

Masterpiece Award

Carolyn Howard-Johnson’s newest book, The Frugal Book Promoter: How to Do What Your Publisher Won’t, was named  “Reviewer’s Choice Masterpiece on Word Museum.com. 

Lori Soard,reviewer for Word Museum and author of the award-winning FIERY SURRENDER picked  FRUGAL for Word Museum’s lineup of reviewers’ favorites. Kim Cox is editor and manager of the site.

Howard-Johnson, an instructor at UCLA Extension’s Writers’ Program, chose to have the book published in both e-book format and paperback in order to give both emerging authors and her struggling students affordable and convenient choices. Whichever format a reader chooses, The Frugal Book Promoter assures an author’s book the best possible start in life. Full of nitty-gritty how-tos for getting nearly free publicity, the author shares her professional experience as well as practical tips gleaned from the successes of her own book campaigns. Also a former publicist, she tells authors how to do what their publishers can’t or won’t and why authors can often do their own promotion better than a PR professional.

The California Legislature recently named Carolyn Woman of the Year in Arts and Entertainment.  She is the first author to be so honored.

The e-book version of  FRUGAL hit the top sales spot on its online bookstore in a matter of days after its release.

Carolyn Howard-Johnson’s poetry has appeared in literary journals like the Mochila Review, Banyan Review and Poetic Voices and she has worked for Good Housekeeping Magazine and as a journalist for several newspapers.  Her first novel, This is the Place, and her book of creative nonfiction, Harkening, are also award-winning books.
