I first heard about Double Dragon Publishing's audio classes when the first
class, A Do-It-Yourself Guide To Promoting Easy And Cheap! became
available as a free download. I also knew that one of the instructors was
Carolyn Howard-Johnson, author of The Frugal Book Promoter: How To Do
What Your Publisher Won't, an excellent book for writers, and this really made
me interested.

Carolyn Howard-Johnson is an instructor at UCLA's Writers' Program and
has many years of experience both as a publicist and also as an author
promoting her own books, which became award-winning best-sellers.
Together with four other authors (Allyn Evans, Joyce Faulkner, Kathe
Gogolewski, and Marilyn Peake), she has contracted with Double Dragon
Publishing to produce a series of 30 audio classes. Those who wish to know
more about the publishing industry can greatly benefit also from the advice
and anecdotes of the other four authors, as they also have a lot to share.
Promote or Perish! The Greatest Myth of Publishing is the second in the
series of audio classes for writers. In this programme, Carolyn
Howard-Johnson uses an excerpt form her book, The Frugal Book Promoter,
to introduce the listener to several myths of the publishing world and the
reality behind them. She talks about issues related to advertising, traditional
and POD publishing, book tours, ebooks, getting reviews and the importance
of branding. Marilyn Peake author of three acclaimed fantasy novels for
children (The Fisherman's Son, The City of the Golden Sun, and Return of the
Golden Age), adult short stories and poems also shares her experinces with
the listener. She talks about author websites, networking, reviews, and
marketing strategies, while Kathe Gogolewski, author of the children's novel,
TATO talks about the ways of getting the much-craved publicity.

However, not all the audio classes are on self-promotion and book
promotion. The classes are equally divided into three categories: writing,
technology related to writing, and book promotion. The URL's mentioned in
the programme are also included in the related handouts.

These authors give personal accounts of their efforts to promote their work,
which makes the programme a really interesting and useful one for all authors
who would like to do the same.
