TRI Studio Announces Winners of the Out-Of-The-Box Promotion Contest For Writers
March, 2008 TRI Studio LLC www.tri-studio.com announces the winners of the Out-of-the-Box Promotion Contest for Writers, featured in The Fiction Flyer, a free e-zine for writers at www.tri-studio.com/ezine.html

Judged by promotion guru Carolyn Howard-Johnson, the contest called for largely untested promotion ideas for writers and underscored fun, original and interesting ideas. The use of technology was encouraged. Winners and Honorable Mentions will be highlighted in a new e-book, Out-of-the-Box Promotion for Writers: Contest Winners and Their Ideas, available as a free distribution for writers in April, 2008.

Carolyn Howard-Johnson, www.carolynhoward-johnson.com, award-winning author of bestsellers The Frugal Book Promoter: How To Do What Your Publisher Won’t and The Frugal Editor, selected author Janet Elaine Smith’s novel entry idea, Google Alerts in Your Marketing Plan, as the first place winner.

The second place award is a tie between authors Phil Harris and Allyn Evans. Harris submitted an idea for a Video Tour Collage and Evans’ idea for an Amazon Tour Group also captured the fancy of Howard-Johnson. Cash prizes and certificates are awarded to the winners.

The First Runner-Up is author Billie Williams for her idea Watching the Way a Mystery Writer Writes. Honorable Mentions go to authors Mindy Phillips Lawrence, Karina Fabian, Nikki Leigh, Margot Finke, Dorothea Buckingham, and Jessica Kennedy.

Full details on the promotion ideas and the winning authors will be featured in the e-book. Out-of-the-Box Promotion for Writers: Contest Winners and Their Ideas, will be posted as a free download at TRI Studio, www.tri-studio.com, Authors’ Coalition, http://authorscoalitionandredenginepress.com/, in The Fiction Flyer, www.tri-studio.com/ezine.html and at http://www.howtodoitfrugally.com.

Carolyn, Thank you. Thanks for all the work you have done on the behalf of authors, women and those of us who live life frugally. You hit the right message for me--don't give up.
I loved Kathe's idea of an Out of the Box contest and think it's wonderful that she's giving it away for all to read. She is truly a patron of the arts and a woman of common sense.
Here's to you and to all you're mentoring!

You are just such a great little media release writer and contest sponsor. Thanks for including me in the project. (-:
Thanks to John Kremer, too, for making this group available to us. Don't you think?
Love,

Wel, one of the things I always say, it's never too early or too late to promote. (-: And I'm truly serious. Too many authors don't start soon enough and they give up way too early! (-;

Best,

I'm trying!!! :)

Michelle, In the Frugal Book Promoter I advise charity tie-ins as one of the best ways to promote. The books I wrote the Foreword for, "Support Our Troops" gives part of its proceeds to Fisher House (a Ronals McDonald type house that supports families of wounded soldiers). I'm sure your not only donating but promoting the heck out of the fact that you are and getting your charity to do so for you, right? (-:
Best,

My promo efforts are donating a portion of profits to domestic violence organizations.

Yes, Marily. It's like the contest that keeps on giving! (-:
Best,
