Kathryn has done a beautiful job giving a detailed way of promoting your book without investing a ton of finances. She starts at the beginning of doing your background work to the end of checking your checklist and checking it twice. There is alot of meat and insightful material in between the two that will give any author fantastic insight of how to promote your material without spending a bundle.
Thanks Kathryn for writing from your knowledge, experiences and research to help others move along quicker to get their material promoted and out into readers hands.

Authors who have self-published a book are not going to get any promotion except what they do themselves. This book gives step by step ideas for how to set up and implement the kind of promotion needed to move your book from the printer to the public.

Amazon.com made it so easy to purchase this book. I ordered it on the 24th and it was in my mailbox two days later!

"How to Promote Your Book on A Shoestring Budget" is not only an eye-opening tool for aspiring authors, but a great refresher course for veterans like me who continue to dream.
It's a wonderful resource, (especially in Chapter 2-"Shopping Around"). "Checking the Checklist" is awesome and I didn't even know about Ping!

This is a short book -- I first read it in an hour. And the information isn't terribly ingenious -- just logical. But it's the best book I've found on the subject because it's easy to refer to, makes perfect sense, and does allow me to stick to my minimal budget.

Good solid information with no wasted words or outrageous ideas.
