"Writers and editors have a true friend in Carolyn Howard-Johnson. Her word smarts, her publishing savvy, and her sincere commitment to authors and editors make The Frugal Editor a must-have resource." -- June Casagrande, author of The Best Punctuation Book, Period and Grammar Snobs Are Great Big Meanies (Penguin) and syndicated grammar columnist

"Previous editions of The Frugal Editor were excellent. Nothing could be better... except this book which has an additional 50% new content. The publishing world changes quickly, and this text allows writers to keep up with the ever changing world of editors, publicists, finicky agents, trends, cultural expectations, queries, and media kits... exploding grammar myths, and possible scams. Save yourself time and money by learning from the best, Howard-Johnson. -- Carolyn Wilhelm, BA, MA, MS and author of environmental content

"Imagine a very wise aunt with a great sense of humor who will get you laughing at the most serious topics. Then make her an expert in all aspects of writing. That's Carolyn Howard-Johnson. I've had the pleasure and honor of editing several of her "Frugal" books for the publisher, although only the 3rd edition of this one. Despite my own experience as an editor, I learned a great deal from this book. So will you, regardless of your level of knowledge. Mind you, this is not a book to read and forget, but a how-to manual that needs you to take careful notes, to read again and again, and to have handy as a reference." -- Bob Rich, Phd, author of From Depression to Contentment
