4.0 out of 5 stars Well-done, creative advice from a pro, August 20, 2003

By	Carey Dyer "denajdyer" (Granbury, TX United States) - See all my reviews

Carmen Leal's newest endeavor, Marketing Your Book, is full of practical, cost-effective and creative ways to get the word out about your creation. I was inspired and encouraged by her no-nonsense approach to everything from radio and television promotion to websites and article writing. Marketing Your Book was refreshingly candid, while being optimistic and positive about the increasingly difficult task of book promotion. Four stars, Carmen. Well done!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book for Christian writers looking to market their book, July 9, 2003

By	Harold McFarland (Florida) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

"You Can Market Your Book" is a thorough exposition of how to market your book to the Christian community. While the principles and techniques in the book are applicable to the marketing of any book, the resources listed and writing style clearly slants the focus to the Christian writer. The book covers all the standard stuff from selecting a good title to getting reviews, creating a press kit, book signings, developing a speaking platform, online promotion, and using subcontractors. Each section is well written and contains a wealth of detailed information. "You Can Market Your Book" is a highly recommended book and is simply the best marketing manual for the Christian publishing community that I have reviewed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must-have resource for writers, June 26, 2003

By	Janet H. McHenry "Author/Speaker" (Loyalton, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Every author should have this book. Carmen Leal gives easy-to-follow helps to help a writer get the word out--from getting reviews to doing interviews to creating an e-zine and other web support. Even though I've written 17 books, I picked up many great ideas. Writing a book is maybe half the work for a writer; getting the word out is just as important. So, aspiring authors should get it too, so they can prepare for what's ahead.
