Meet Carole

Carole P. Roman is a multiple award-winning, best-selling author of over 50 books. Her work spans multiple genres including children’s fiction, non-fiction and even paranormal romance. Her work enchants educators, parents and a diverse audience of children.

Carole hosts 3 blog radio shows and founded an online magazine called Indie Author’s Monthly. Her latest coloring book, Oh Susannah, received a Book Excellence Award in the coloring book category.

As a well-rounded author, Carole’s book marketing process is unique and strategic. Having literally written a book about promotion and marketing, Carole knows the importance of marketing with regards to sales.

In a feature in Forbes magazine, Carol said:

Writing and self-publishing books is a business too. It’s fun, sometimes painful and can be expensive. But ultimately, we are in it to make a profit. While it is an art form, and you may write the most wonderful book in the universe, unless you promote it, it will disappear into the vast pit of choices on the web, never to be read and appreciated.”

As a multiple award-winning author, Carole understands the value of including book awards in her book promotion process.

“Publishing is all about perseverance and persistence…you work to finish your book…and then you have to convince people to buy it. You have to learn to use the tools available to get yourself noticed.”

After seven years in the business, Carole is clear on what drives costs and profits, and among other book marketing programs, the Book Excellence Awards stood out to Carole.

“The Book Excellence Awards is more than your regular book awards, they’re there to help promote and push your book to further heights.”

She chose to apply to the awards for the professionalism of the competition and the impressive talent of the other honorees.
