News from Carolyn Howard Johnson
USA BOOK NEWS ANNOUNCES
WINNERS AND FINALISTS OF
THE USA “BEST BOOKS 2011” AWARDS
Simon & Schuster, St. Martin’s Press, Random House, Penguin, Harper Collins, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, McGraw-Hill, John Wiley & Sons and hundreds of Independent Houses contribute to this year’s Outstanding Competition!
________________________________________
LOS ANGELES – USABookNews.com, the premiere online magazine and review website for mainstream and independent publishing houses, announced two of Carolyn Howard-Johnson’s books were among those that placed in THE USA “BEST BOOKS 2011” AWARDS on November 1, 2011. Awards were presented for titles published in 2010 and 2011.
Jeffrey Keen, President and CEO of USA Book News, said this year’s contest yielded an unprecedented number of entries. Winners and finalists traversed the publishing landscape: Simon & Schuster, St. Martin’s Press, Random House, Penguin, Harper Collins, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, McGraw-Hill, John Wiley & Sons and hundreds of independent houses contributed to this year’s outstanding competition. Keen adds, “Our success begins with the enthusiastic participation of authors and publishers and continues with our distinguished panel of industry judges who bring to the table their extensive editorial, PR, marketing, and design expertise.”
Award highlights include the following:
(Full results listing available on USABooknews.com)
• The Frugal Book Promoter: How to get nearly free publicity on your own or partnering with your publisher (Second Edition) by Carolyn Howard-Johnson won best business book in the writing category.
• Blooming Red: Christmas Poetry for the Rational by Carolyn Howard-Johnson and Magdalena Ball was a finalist in the poetry category.
• Prodigal Father Pagan Son: Growing Up Inside the Dangerous World of the Pagans Motorcycle Club by Anthony Menginie and Kerrie Droban (St. Martin's Press) was honored in the “Autobiography/Memoirs” category
• Oprah: A Biography by Kitty Kelley (Crown Books/Random House) was awarded “Best Biography"
• Perfect One-Dish Dinners: All You Need for Easy Get-Togethers by Pam Anderson (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) placed number one in “Cookbooks”
• The Daughter's Walk by Jane Kirkpatrick (Water Brook/Random House) took home the “Best General Fiction” prize
One reviewer said reading Howard-Johnson’s books is like picking the brains of a master marketer. It received plaudits from industry shakers like Marilyn Ross, founder of Small Publishers or North America and Tim Bete, director of Dayton University’s Erma Bombeck Writers’ Conference. The new one carries endorsements from the likes of Dan Poynter and Tony Eldridge.
Howard-Johnson, an instructor for nearly a decade at UCLA Extension’s Writers’ Program, chose to have the new edition published in both e-book format and paperback in order to give her struggling students and clients 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. A former journalist and publicist (she wrote media releases for fashion designers like Christian Dior), 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. Her poetry is published in dozens of literary and review journals worldwide.

Barbe Awalt and Paul Rhetts Win Award
LOCAL PUBLISHERS HONORED WITH INAUGURAL HILLERMAN LEAPHORN AWARD
Barbe Awalt and Paul Rhetts of Los Ranchos, New Mexico, will receive the inaugural Leaphorn Award at the Tony Hillerman Writers Conference in Santa Fe, November 12, at the Hotel Santa Fe. The Award is named after Tony Hillerman’s legendary Navajo detective, Joe Leaphorn.
“We are honored to present the first Leaphorn Award to Awalt and Rhetts for their generous efforts to call attention to the world of literary talent in New Mexico,” Anne Hillerman said. “Just as Joe Leaphorn never gave up on a case, Paul and Barbe continue to work tirelessly to help our state’s writers and publishers receive the recognition they deserve.”
Awalt and Rhetts are the owners of LPD Press/Rio Grande Books and founders of the New Mexico Book Co-op with over 1,000 members. LPD Press/Rio Grande Books is a regional publisher and one of the biggest independent publishers in New Mexico. They specialize in New Mexico titles and authors. Awalt and Rhetts have won many awards for their books and work including the 2006 Laureates for the Mother Teresa Award. That year the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the Dalai Lama were also recognized.
Awalt and Rhetts have also received awards for their magazine Tradicion Revista now available online. They have also received awards from the Public Relations Society of America and the National School Public Relations Association. Their books have received awards from the Border Regional Library Association, Pima/Tucson Library Association, New Mexico Press Women, and the New Mexico Book Awards. They annually present awards for New Mexican Hispanic art at the New Mexico State Fair and Contemporary Hispanic Market.
The New Mexico Book Co-op formed the New Mexico Book Awards five years ago and recognizes New Mexico books published each year. The New Mexico Book Co-op, the largest book advocacy organization in New Mexico, has promoted literacy projects, libraries, schools, New Mexico magazines and newspapers, as well as New Mexico books and New Mexico authors. Activities have included book fairs, a store in Cottonwood Mall, special events, and workshops, while the Book Co-op survives and grows with no dues. The New Mexico Book Co-op has published its’ first book Voices of New Mexico commemorating New Mexico’s Centennial with 35 contributors and the book is a Finalist in the New Mexico Book Awards. This year the Book Co-op also instituted Nuevo Books - a book publishing service for authors.
Awalt and Rhetts are particularly pleased with the Award because the books of Tony Hillerman helped them make the decision to move from Maryland to New Mexico, 22 years ago. Joe Leaphorn has always been one of their favorite characters and epitomizes the drive of New Mexicans
The Award will be presented as part of the Tony Hillerman Writers Conference and Workshop at the annual banquet.
