Hey Niki, I'm excited to watch your progress with "Shadows and Wings," I was just looking at your Kickstarter page last night. Congratulations!

Hey all! I am new in this group and excited to join. I have just published "Shadows and Wings" on Small House Press and in the throes of building the press and promoting the novel! www.smallhousepress.com

I look forward to sharing your journeys! Peace.

Thanks for the shout-out, Tracey. April and I are both very excited about this workshop. We're happy to take any questions in advance that are begging to be answered.

Hi,

As a writer, I have had such success with April Eberhardt as my agent.I was so happy to learn that she and Susan Bearman have combined their experience and expertise to offer "Pathways to Publication: Choosing the Best Way to Reach Your Readers." They are in a unique position to answer so many of our questions about the quickly evolving publishing world. I am confident of this workshop's value!

Hi, Everyone,

First, apologies if you got this invitation through other lists. I believe the members of this group will be particularly interested in this program, and we are eager to get the word out, so feel free to share. 

On Friday, June 7, April Eberhardt and I will be co-presenting a workshop in Chicago on Pathways to Publication: Choosing the Best Way to Reach Your Readers. We scheduled this on the afternoon before Printers Row Lit Fest. We hope those in the Chicago area or those coming to town for Lit Fest will join us. Click here for more information and to register.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Best,
Susan Bearman

Hello Ladies. Anyone here have a moment (or a few, actually) to spare? I am looking some feedback on the 10th chapter of my YA Silent Voices. It is written from a omniscient third-person narrative, focusing on one or two of the for MCs feelings (or silenced voices) in each chapter

Hi people, I'd like to introduce myself and my first book (LIVING BY EAR) by sharing a lovely review I received yesterday from Roundtable Reviews. I'm having some trouble getting the word out about LIVING BY EAR, but have had some success (not to mention some failures) and am happy to share my experiences with others if anyone's interested.

One way I'm trying to promote LIVING BY EAR right now is by doing a Mother's Day promotion--the story has several themes, but family is a pervasive one, so I thought it would make a good Mother's Day gift. Therefore, the Kindle version is just $.99 from now until May 12. 

Anyway, here's the review. http://roundtablereviewsadult.blogspot.com/2013/04/living-by-ear-ma...

Again, I'd love to chat with other indie writers about marketing and publicity for first novels and what does/doesn't work. 

Looking forward to talking!

Best,

Mary
