Note from Carolyn

Dear Subscribers:

This is a special edition of Sharing with Writers. As you probably know by now, I wrote a new book on tweeting, Frugal and Focused Tweeting for
Retailers: Tweaking your Tweets and Other Tips for Integrating Your Social Media. Now I’m putting it to work with an amazing expert in the publishing field, Patricia Norins, publisher of Gift Shop Magazine and her new newsletter eProfits.

We’re presenting tweeting in a way that makes it easy for us to help you make it easy to turn Twitter into a tool that networks for you and, yes, even sells your books. It’s like a Power Point presentation on your computer screen accompanied by a casual telephone chat!

And besides that, Patricia has offered a Starving Writer Discount to my subscribers and only to my subscribers. So, see below for details or just go straight to www.retailconferenceseries.com and sign up. Use the code starvingwriter to receive the $79. Webinar for $40. And know that you will also receive a copy of Frugal and Focused Tweeting courtesy of eProfits newsletter, an extra benefit that comes from taking good care of the social media campaign for your book. And for being with us.

Remember my new mantra. “Marketing is marketing is marketing. Tweeting it tweeting!” So what is good for the sellers of any product is good for the sellers of books! That’s you!

Happy Writing, Promoting and Editing in 2010 Carolyn Howard - Johnson

The FAQs Podcasts feature informative interviews with industry professionals in the business of writing, marketing, and the creation of online media who will help writers create a top-notch product and help them reach their target audience.

The two writers will do what both do best, that is give their listeners lots of tips and ideas based on their professional experience and practical approaches based on practical experience promoting their own books.

Howard-Johnson instructs at UCLA Extension's world renown Writers' Program. Her first novel, This Is the Place, won eight awards. Her second book, Harkening: A Collection of Stories Remembered, creative nonfiction, won three. She is also an award-winning poet. Her how-to book for writers, The Frugal Book Promoter: How to Do What Your Publisher Won't is recommended reading for her classes, was named USA Book News' "Best Professional Book" and is an Irwin Award winner. Her second book in the How To Do It Frugally series is The Frugal Editor: Put Your Best Book Forward to Avoid Humiliation and Ensure Success. It, too, is a USA Book News award-winner as well as the winner of the Reader View's Literary Award.

She is the recipient of both the California Legislature's Woman of the Year in Arts and Entertainment Award and the Glendale American Business Women's Association's Woman of the Year award. Her community's Character and Ethics Committee honored her for promoting tolerance with her writing. She was also named to Pasadena Weekly's list of 14 "San Gabriel Valley women who make life happen." She is a popular speaker and actor.
