Audio Book Review for  A Do It Yourself Guide to Promotion - Easy
and Cheap!
By
Patricia Harrington www.patriciaharrington.com

Once published, twice shy . . . or where, oh where, to begin promoting!  

After the euphoria of being published, reality quickly sets in for most authors.  
Now the book has to be promoted!  The task seems daunting, and often, can
be debilitating to bank accounts.  

But book promotion doesn’t have to be a drain, emotionally or financially for
authors.  There are trailblazers who’ve learned from their own hard-won
experiences, willing to share shortcuts and how to make sound decisions
when it comes to book promotion.  Three of these savvy, trailblazer authors
have created an audio book class titled
A Do-It-Yourself Guide to
Promotion Easy and Cheap
.  The entrepreneurial authors are Allyn Evans,
founder of Queen Power; Marilyn Peake, children’s fantasy author and editor
of The Golden Goblet newsletter; and Carolyn Howard-Johnson, award-
winning author of the Frugal Book Promoter: How to Do What Your Publisher
Won’t.

This audio book is the culmination of a teleclass hosted by Allyn Evans and
conducted with the other two authors.  The material covers two primary
areas: “How to Use Radio Publicity,” and “How to Arrange Radio Interviews
Cheaply.”   The authors bring a common sense approach to their advice and
tips, garnered from participating collectively in some 400-radio interviews.  
The book’s format is one of give and take among the three, as they share
actual sources, resources and the names of receptive radio hosts and sites.  
There is even a question and answer segment included in the book.

The information provided is particularly helpful for those who’ve written works
of fiction.  As Marilyn Peake (The Fisherman’s Son) explains, “You have to
have an angle to get on the radio.”  In Peake’s case, because she has a
master’s degree in clinical psychology, her angle was “overscheduled
children.”

Both authors believe radio shows and interviews are a great way to gain
exposure and publicity.  Carolyn Howard-Johnson shares many ideas on
how to find and build a list of potential radio stations to contact.  She
explains how to do a search on the Internet for program and interview
sources.  Her valuable tips are truly shortcuts that if followed, will save
authors’ time and frustration.  Howard-Johnson brings a wealth of tips on
ways to build branding and gain exposure.  The author also lists some of
these from time to time in her newsletter Sharing With Writers.

This introductory audio book in the promotion series is in MP3/Audio format
and available at no cost—a definite bargain.  It also can be purchased as a
CD for a modest cost from Double Dragon Publishing Inc.    http://www.
double-dragon-books.com/single.asp?isbn=DDP00000001QP&genre=

Authors who are determined to make it in a very competitive marketplace
should definitely tune-in and turn on to A Do-It-Yourself Guide to Promotion
Easy and Cheap.  The audio book is a “keeper.”
