Winners Announced for 2008 Out of the Box Promotion Idea Contest
TRI Studio LLC in cooperation with the Authors’ Coalition announce the winners of The 2008 Out of the Box Promotion Contest for Writers.
The top winners include promotional experts Janet Elaine Smith, Allyn Evans, Phil Harris and Billie Williams. Honorable Mention awardees include authors Mindy P. Lawrence, Dorothea Buckingham, Nikki Leigh, Margot Finke, Karina Fabian and Jessica Kennedy.
Ideas range from a Book-of-the-Week Club partnering the publisher and author with an internet radio program, to an Amazon Tour Group, a Video Tour Group, and an idea of letting readers watch the progress as an author writes a book.
The contest was sponsored by TRI Studio LLC, producer of The Fiction Flyer, a free e-zine for writers of fiction. Entries were judged by Carolyn Howard-Johnson, author of The Frugal Book Promoter and The Frugal Editor using the following criteria: 1) the originality of the idea, 2) The breadth of applicability, and 3) the ease of use. The contest showcases new and interesting promotion ideas by authors and for authors. As Kathe Gogolewski, author and President of TRI Studio LLC said, “We wanted to create a tool to help writers in their craft."
There is now a free e-book full of the winning ideas is available from TRI Studio and Authors’ Coalition. It is also available for free distribution for those interested.

I hope to be doing this type of contest again and attracting more and more entries. With technology reinventing itself several times a year now, it could prove to be a very interesting contest as people plug in new technologies to promote and cross-promote their work. Thanks Dehanna for helping to spread the word! Carolyn Howard-Johnson was invaluable in judging this contest and helping with the editing work.
