Note from Carolyn:


My fellow AC Members and SWW Subscribers:

Finally, a place on my site that I have full control over where I can put your book. This page is for readers, not writers. So I would love to trade links with authors I have been unable to do that with before because of my need to publish only material that serves the need of writers.

Now if you send me the title of your book, the name you write under and your website I will post it on my Links for Readers page.

I will probably get many so they must be in this form:

Crushed (ISBN 13) 9780955367236 by Frances Lynn This is an illustrated preteen fiction about a misfit non-identical twin who lives with her eccentric family in London, and thinks she's adopted. YOUR WEBSITE HERE.
Frantic (ISBN 13) 9780955367229 by Frances Lynn is a book set in the early '70s. It's nostalgia for survivors and their children, who want to know why their hippy-hearted parents are still stuck in their flower-power time-warp. YOUR WEBSITE HERE.
Note the short descriptions! (-: I will, in return, send you information on my fiction and poetry which you may then feel free to edit, pick and choose from or whatever. As always, I do not expect tit for tat links.
Please, before you send me a link, go to see if yours is already there. Go to http://HowToDoItFrugally.com and click on the Links for Readers button at the top of the page.
I also have space for four paid ads on that page. $25, not a month, but a year! Ads will include your book cover, a short blurb and link to wherever you prefer.
Best,

Carolyn Howard-Johnson

Letters-to-the-Editor

Hi Carolyn:

Some time ago you put out four names for Author Friendly Radio and TV stations. I contacted all four. Franalive will interview me on August 14, 2007 for my book, "The Immigrants' Daughter" that won Best Books 2006 Award for the multicultural non-fiction category in October 2006. Trust me: I belong to the silent majority of immigrants: legal, sober, and honest to a fault. Maybe it is time to change the majority's opinion about recent immigrants (haha).

Joe Mazza charges $150 for guest appearances. I did not hear from the other two. I did mention your name.

I just wanted to thank you and to let you know that the information you provide is valuable. Keep up the good work.

Mary Terzian aka
"The imported American"
www.maryterzian.com
---
Answer and Tip: Not too bad, 25%! Ha! Sorry to hear that Joe is now charging. I don't think authors need to pay for interviews. (Traditionally guests weren't charged; rather advertising was sold to offset the expenses of producing a radio show.) Now, try this. Go to my new site http://HowToDoItFrugally.com and click on Links for Writers. There are some more radio and TV shows listed on that page, too. (-:

======================================================
No part of this newsletter is paid advertising.
=======================================================

TIP: Are you trying to speak more or teach more or be interviewed more or ???? Tailor a cover letter for that purpose and then edit a special version of your media kit to focus on that goal. An example is my media kit designed to give conference directors looking for speakers the material they need to make a decision. You can download that kit to use as a template/guideline for your own needs. Go to the media page at www.howtodoitfrugally.com. The .pdf is waiting for you.

=======================================================
Please pass this letter on to others. Unlike many others, I do not mind if you use only portions of it as long as you credit the writers and include this subscribe information. "To subscribe to 'Sharing with Writers' send an e-mail to HoJoNews@aol.com with 'subscribe' in the subject line."
========================================================

Opportunities

From Radio Host Janet Elaine Smith:
Author and Marketer Janet Elaine Smith has an internet radio program, "Marketing for Fun and Profit" at http://internetvoicesradio.com/ . If you are an author who is interested in improving your marketing (and if you aren't, shame on you!), send Janet an email at janetelainesmith@yahoo.com .

She says, "You have to pay for the cost of the phone call, but the station is reaching over 50,000 people and it is archived for quite awhile after it airs live. It's better than frugal, it's "cheap"! LOL!"

Purchase an Established Company
From Marilyn Ross: Self Publishing Resources (SPR) is a thriving firm with assets, intangibles and goodwill that is transferable and sustainable. In spite of Tom’s and my absence, About Books Inc. (ABI), which we sold in 2003, continues to prosper — a positive indicator that this new business will also move ahead successfully when I’m no longer involved.

This book shepherding consulting company / book packager requires a person or couple with some knowledge of book publishing and marketing to take it over. Or it could be an ideal adjunct for an existing company that wants to expand. Since I primarily use virtual contract assistants, the beauty of SPR is that it can be run from anywhere in the U.S. The new owners can experience real quality of life.

Contact me and I'll refer you to Marilyn. My e-mail is hojonews@aol.com.

Single Moms: Let Your Voices Be Heard!
(This is from SWW subscriber Colleen Sell, Cup of Comfort editor.)

As Oprah Winfrey has often said, parenting is the most difficult and important job in the world -- even more so for single mothers, who single-handedly face all the usual parenting challenges, plus a whole set of unique ones. While being a single mom can be tough at times, it also brings many joys and rewards, and the positive aspects and outcomes of single motherhood often go unrecognized.

The editor of the bestselling Cup of Comfort (Adams Media) book series is (desperately) seeking personal stories for publication in an anthology for and about single mothers. We want slice-of-life stories that read like good fiction and both entertain and move readers. Any topic and any voice goes, as long as the author tells an authentic and compelling story. Stories can be humorous or poignant or both, and must be original, positive, and based on real people and actual events.

* Deadline: March 20, 2007
* Story Length: 1000-2000 words
* $500 grand prize; $100 for each other story published in book
* Simultaneous submissions accepted
* Authors may submit multiple stories
* The title page of each submission must include the author's full name, mailing address, phone number, and email address
* Submit by email or mail

EMAIL: Copy and paste the story into the body of the email; no attachments. One story per email. Send to wordsinger@aol.com

MAIL: Send a printed copy of the story (no CDs or disks) and an SASE to: Colleen Sell, Cup of Comfort, P.O. Box 1539, Cottage Grove, Oregon 97424, USA

Author Successes

(You are invited to send me news about your successes. New books, awards and more. If you read about others' successes you'll not only be inspired, you'll glean resources for future successes of your own.

Marsha Jordan's article "Dead Men Walking" was published in Christian Voices. "Life in the Manure Pile" was published in the Good Life News, and four articles were published in Power To Share and a story, "If He Only Had a Brain" was chosen for a new Cup of Comfort book coming out in the fall. Learn more about Marsha, the Peanut Butter Queen, as seen on Wisconsin Public Television and WGN TV at www.hugsandhope.org/mjmediaroom.htm.

Leora Skolkin-Smith says, "It's been a lifetime dream of mine that readers might consider the violence in the Middle East through the universal funnel of family, gender, and forces within ourselves and not just as a war pf ideologies fueled by feverish fundamentalism and corrupt politics and "oil". Though I know this isn't any kind of commercial success or even approaches that standard, I was overjoyed to learn that my novel, "Edges, O Israel, O Palestine" by Leora Skolkin-Smith, edited by Grace Paley was accepted at The National Women's Studies Association conference "Past Debates, Present Possibilities, Future Feminisms" held in St. Charles, Illinois this June. The keynote speaker there is going to be Sandra Cisneros, who wrote "Caramelo". A big theme this year is immigration issues, and comment on the politics of migration and mobility today."
Learn more about the conference at http://www.nwsaconference.org/. Learn more about Leora at http://www.leoraskolkinsmith.com/

======================================================== Fun and F r * *: If you purchased The Frugal Book Promoter in the past, I'd love for you to review it on Amazon or BN.com, perhaps just tell what part of it you found most valuable. If you do, send me the review link (URL) and I will send you an excerpt from my soon-to-be-released The Frugal Editor: Put Your Best Book Forward to Avoid Humiliation and Ensure Success that includes some sidebars from the book that will help you with some tricky grammar. As a thank you, of course. HoJoNews@aol.com

Vocabulary: Agonal.My aunt experienced agonal breathing as she died from lung cancer; I didn't know what it was called then but I learned this new word (for me) this week. Knowing the word is working on me -- perhaps a new poem will come from just having a label. Words are so important; they give us something to grasp.

When was the last time you bought a book from an author you know? Tracings, my new chapbook of poetry is available for that honor at www.amazon.com/gp/product/1599240173/qid=1141623936/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-4692447-2218401?s=books&v=glance&n=283155
but any book mentioned in any one of your Sharing with Writers newsletters would be a nice gesture. If all of us directed more of our reading to newer authors who write in genres we love or genres we need to stretch into, we would do ourselves and the publishing industry a great favor.
