"There are a lot more titles where these came from. I
take a justifiable pride in the Midwest Book Review web site as having the
largest writing/publishing bibliography data bases in all the world!"
Naturally, I thought I'd pass his suggestions on to you. I
always say, "One book on the writing and marketing of books is never
enough."

Dear Carolyn,
Thank you for sharing this great list. I am enjoying Wired for Story that you recommended.
Celebrate you.
Joan
Joan, thanks for coming by. Glad you liked Wired for Story. I met the author when we were both presenters at a writers conference. Turns out she taught at UCLA, too. She gave me a book. And that's a good example of how much good giving a book away can do! I think she is now on most of my recommended lists and Wired definitely helped me with a final rewrite of This Land Divided, now being shopped by my agent Terrie Wolf.
Thanks for the list, Carolyn. I already have your book, The Frugal Book Promoter, 2nd Edition and the Red Hot Internet Publicity by Penny C. Sansevieri. Lots of other great titles to look into.
Dear Carolyn,
You're welcome. How neat that you met the author of Wired for Story in person and that she gave you a copy of the book. Glad that book helped with your final rewrite of This Land Divided. Good luck with its publication!
Never Give Up
Joan
