Subject: [Sharing with Writers] Google, Amazon and Word-of-Mouth--All Here for You!

April 19, 2007
Sharing with Writers
A newsletter that is also a community. Share your ideas. Learn from theirs!
From the Desks of
Carolyn Howard-Johnson and Authors' Coalition Friends
~~~:.~~~.:~~~.:~~~:.~~~.:~~~.:~~~:.~~~.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Sharing with Writers" is the official newsletter of Authors' Coalition,

http://authorscoalitionandredenginepress.com

an organization of writers who help writers.

To read this letter in plain vanilla text, just scroll down. To read this newsletter with a bit more pizzazz (not much, though!) at Authors Den go to:

http://www.AuthorsDen.com/adstorage/1713/Sharingwithwriters_April_No4Week2007.doc

The LA fair is one of the nation's biggest and most prestigious with more than 130,000 visitors and the power of the LA Times and UCLA behind it.

Please come. Your fellow subscribers and Authors' Coalition members will be at booth #610 near the food aisle. Available opportunities for the CD, video/slideshow, and catalogue are closed but will open again on May 1 for the Hollywood Book Fair.

Note from Carolyn:

My fellow AC Members and SWW Subscribers:

Saturday I have the pleasure of introducing two young poets to my community of Glendale, CA. I am told that Glendale has the highest number of Armenian residents outside of Armenia and it is my personal observation that it is a population -- if one can generalize -- that is avidly interested in poetry. Hooray!

Anyway, in addition to a seminar where attendees will learn how to publish the poetry they have written, Christine Alexanians will read her prose poem, "Ninety-Two Years of Silence" (about the Armenian genocide) and Sona Ovasapyan will read from her just-published chapbook of love poems.

Thus, your "Sharing with Writers" is appearing earlier than usual. I have work to do for this seminar. I am more excited (and worried) about this than anything I have done for a long time. Perhaps because it feels so good to be extending an opportunity to others -- especially poets.

If you live in the area and want to know more about publishing (especially alternative publishing) and contests, please come by. It is at 10 am at the Glendale Central Library in a huge auditorium where there is plenty of space for everyone.
Saturday, April 21, 10 am to noon
Glendale Central Library Auditorium
222 E. Harvard St, Glendale, CA 91205
(818) 548-2030

Validated parking across the street from the library in the Good Guys parking structure.

For the rest of you, consider offering a hand to an emerging writer in your genre. It sure feels good.

Letter-to-the-Editor

Dear Carolyn,

I wanted to thank you for your comments on my blog. I also wanted to tell you that I am a big fan and love your writing and advice to writers. Your newsletter is one of the rare ones that I can't wait to read. You offer so much priceless advice. I plan to include the journaling article
[ Find this on my F R ^ ^ Articles 4 Readers and Writers page at www.HowToDoItFurgally.com ] in my monthly e-zine as well. I have a unique line of writing journals at http://www.dreamfocusedinc.com/ and the article tied in so nicely.

Thanks again for all that you do!
Love & Peace,
Rebecca J. Burns

Throw in a Dose of Ethics

On Imus, Intolerance, Iraq and I

I am sending those of you who are interested in reading this essay on free speech to my blog after a paragraph or two. Certainly it relates to writing but not in the same sense or tone that I try to keep for this letter.

Writers and serious readers should be interested in all the political aspects of free speech because they affect us so vitally.

Two stories on the front page of the LA Times Calendar section seemed calculated to consider this most precious of rights--however inadvertently their juxtaposition may have been. One story was on Imus's firing, the other on PBS's inclination to edit (censor!) the words of our US Soldiers in the documentary "Operation Homecoming." Let's take them one at a time.

I believe in free speech. I hate intolerance. I also write frequently about the military. I have been writing about them for the better part of my writing career, long before I began to write how-to books to help writers. So, though I hate to see anything done that tends to strangle an individual's right to say what he or she thinks . . . .
Those interested may go to www.sharingwithwriters.blogspot.com.

===================================================
If you enjoy "Sharing with Writers" please nominate it for Writer's Digest's 101 Best Newsletters for Writers. We aren't big, we aren't old.

Thank Yous

(There are leads here, just as you'll find in all the most innocent-looking areas of this newsletter. You never know when you'll find a name or a site that will help you network or write better!)

To Linda Morelli, writer of romantic crime fiction and forensic expert extraordinaire, not only for advertising on my new www.HowToDoItFrugally site, but for sending her readers to the site to see her ads with this little piece of promotional genius from her newsletter:

"Incidentally, my books (Fiery Surrender, Lani’s Challenge and Shadow of Doubt) are featured on several of the How to Do It Frugally pages. If you find them, email me (RomRiter@aol.com) with the subject: "Books on Frugally." List the book titles and pages on which they’re located, and I’ll send you a special surprise."

Now, I ask you! Can you think of a better little merry-go-round of publicity than this? BTW, you'll find the newsletter at http://hometown.aol.com/lbmwriter/Romance/Newsletter.html.

An Allyn Evans Update on Amazon Perks

By Allyn Evans, directly from her Blogspot blog AND her Amazon plog via the miracle of an RSS feed.

Amazon Plog is Now Amazon Daily

Go check out [what Amazon bills as] the new and improved Amazon Plog.

...if you had a plog on Amazon Connect, now you can add your blogs to it (assuming you were blogging in addition to plogging). You do it by adding your RSS feed, or Really Simple Syndication.

If you'd rather just continue plogging on Amazon as you have been doing, it sounds to me as if you can do that, too.

Here's what you need to do if you want to change over. Go to www.amazon.com and click on your profile. If you are a plogger, you'll immediately see what you need to do. Click on "add RSS feed." The rest is explained in detail. If you need more help, go to www.allynevans.com/contact.html and e-mail me. I'll be glad to help!

Let Google Help Make Your Site More Valuable to Readers

This is from a Google newsletter I take. You may have to explore a bit, as I did, to understand the power of the Map Addition and how it works, but it is worth taking the time. Ditto for the Book Bar.

"Books, Mapped:
Google Book Search meets Google Maps. We (Google) recently launched a feature that's fast becoming a big hit with our users: a Google Maps integration with Google Book Search. We call it "Places mentioned in this book," and you'll find this module on the "About this Book" page of certain books. Not every title in Google Book Search has this function enabled; we display a map when our automatic techniques determine that there are a good number of quality locations in a book. These maps animate the information in books by organizing a sampling of locations from them on an interactive Google Map, with snippets of text from the book, and links to the actual pages where the locations are mentioned.
"Take a look at the maps extracted from this New York City Rough Guide or this iUniverse title about a cross-country bike ride. (http://books.google.com/books?vid=ISBN0595221009). "Providing a better experience for Google Book Search users means more visibility for the product, and in turn, more people finding your books. Of course, we're working to add more features to the program, both for end users and for you, our partners. Don't hesitate to drop us a line at books-support@google.com if you have any suggestions for how to improve your experience with Google Book Search in any way.
"Add Book Search results to your site
Here's a new way to promote your books online: a simple widget that adds a dynamic "book bar" to your web page. Just enter information about your books, and we'll generate the code you need to add a bookshelf of titles. Visitors to your site can then click on the book images to see previews of your books through Google Book Search.
"Adding the Book Bar to your page is a snap. Once you customize how your book bar should be displayed, the
Book Bar Wizard (http://www.google.com/uds/solutions/wizards/bookbar.html) will generate the code for you. If you want to showcase specific titles, simply input their ISBNs. Or, try using a search operator like "inpublisher:YOURNAME" to limit the books that are displayed to just those that you've published. Currently, the AJAX Book Search API is available in all languages supported by Book Search. The developer documentation, however, is available only in US-English."

I used this bar (really a series of book pictures) on my site because people interested in my novel, This Is the Place might also be interested in reading other books about that unique place and culture within the US borders. So now I have an assortment of Utah-related books on the This Is the Place page generated by Google. (-:

Big Corporations Prove Word-of-Mouth Needn't Be Left to the Gods


By Carolyn Howard-Johnson

Time Magazine (Barbara Kiviat in April 23, 2007 issue) reports on an advertising method that has always worked for authors but, probably, authors themselves don't take advantage of it. The article is about how word-of-mouth is being used by big companies to market their products. Here's how the likes of Proctor & Gamble do it:

 They recruit people to tell others about their businesses.
 No, they don't pay them. Walter Carl, a communications expert noted that the motivating forces are "inside access to products" (perhaps knowing about them first, as an example) and the feeling that companies care about what they and their friends think (they are often asked to give the company feedback).
Some companies . . . .

Go to my Amazon plog for the rest of the story and leave a comment along with your website address! (Think promotion!). Here is the link:

Web Advice from WebforAuthors.com Expert

From Marshall Turner

Use your website address on everything!
By getting your domain name and then launching your website early, you will be able to include your website address on your book cover, in interviews, in your email signature and in your printed collateral. I’ve seen several authors who have a web presence (from reviews and other mentions on various websites) but since they did not have a website at the time, there is no link back to their website. A missed opportunity!

======================================================


Useful Vocabulary Word

I found this in my Word of The Day e-mail and welcomed the reminder. The word annular is one I have used in the past, but not lately (It means circular and was useful for the writer of media releases in the days of the annular skirts of the 50s.) The new one for me is penannular which means nearly circular. Dr. Language, the yourdictionary.com editor who edits these words of the day, notes that we should use the root pen more frequently because having a prefix that means nearly or almost can be added to lots of adjectives. Try it. It's fun!

=======================================================
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.
