A Star is Born!

Janet will be an invaluable asset to Star Publish and its authors as part of the Star Publish Management Team. Janet Elaine Smith came onto the book publishing scene in June 2000 with the release of her first book, Dunnottar. With no marketing background and not even knowing an author had to market their own book, she soon proved that hard work, good luck and the right contacts could bring success. The fact that bookstores are now more open to stocking Print-on-Demand books is due in large part to Janet's unique, fun phone calls to bookstores. Janet's book, Promo Paks: Nearly-Free Marketing for Authors, is published in e-book format by Star Publish. In addition to being the publisher for Janet's PromoPaks, Star will soon be re-releasing 14 of her books that were with another publisher. As Carolyn Howard-Johnson stated, "...we have the singular best person in the industry doing this, and that includes me. Bookstore sales have never been my cup of tea (thus my approach to THE FRUGAL BOOK PROMOTER, that we pick and choose what fits our pocketbooks and our personalities). Janet does bookstore sales better than anyone I have heard of." For more information, go to http://starpublish.com. # # # #
