Something About Me and My Book:: Grassroots Marketing for Authors and Publishers, my seventh book, won its first honor within just a few months of publication. A step-by-step guide to effective, ethical and affordable book promotion, it has been endorsed by John Kremer, Fern Reiss, Dan Poynter, Marilyn Ross, and other experts.

I'm also a marketing copywriter and publishing consultant who helps people go from writer to author, and helps the world learn about your books.

My two most recent books before GMAP are Principled Profit: Marketing That Puts People First (a world-changing approach to success through business ethics, cooperation, and an attitude of abundance, http://www.principledprofit.com ) and the original Grassroots Marketing: Getting Noticed in a Noisy World (step-by-step guide to affordable, effective marketing of any product or service, in almost any medium, http://www.frugalmarketing.com ).

The Last Harry Potter: An Ethicist's Perspective (I won't spoil the surprise)

Both as a long-time fan of the series and as someone who writes regularly about ethics both <a href="http://principledprofit.com/good-business-blog/">in my blog</a> and in my award-winning sixth book, <a href="http://www.principledprofit.com">Principled Profit: Marketing That Puts People First</a>, I want to talk for a minute about <em>Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows</em>.

There's so much I could say about this latest (and final) Harry Potter… Continue

Book Marketing Newsletter to Launch July 25

I had said some time back that I would launch a monthly newsletter on book marketing when I got to 100 subscribers. I've reached that point, and will publish the first issue on or about July 25, and monthly thereafter.

This will be a mix of reader tips and tips from me (in putting together Grassroots Marketing for Authors and Publishers, needless to say I collected quite a few), generally one brief article each month.

You can subscribe to any of my newsletters at… Continue

At 9:26am on July 13, 2007, Shel Horowitz said…: The interview went very well. We got in pretty deep with soe issues about business ethics and social change--much deeper than the usual radio interview. It's archived at http://kgnu.org/ht/listings.html?show=Metro (click on July 11, and then wait for the newscast to be over).

At 2:23pm on July 3, 2007, Shel Horowitz said…: You asked if Grassroots Marketing for Authors and Publishers will be useful to fiction writers. Yes, definitely. I'm married to a novelist. I will say that probably nonfiction writers will find more in the book, but you should find plenty. As one example: the sample press releases include three novels and a children's book.
