Interview with author Dina Santorelli
I stumbled upon a blog close to 2 years ago. Making Baby Grand was Dina Santorelli’s way of sharing the writing/ publishing process with her readers. Dina offers weekly writing tips to her readers as well as supporting and featuring other debut authors. I am so excited to introduce you to author/editor/freelance writer, Dina Santorelli. Her debut novel Baby Grand had me hooked from page one and did not disappoint.About the Author: …See More

Forgotten Women
I am thinking today of some forgotten women. It is because of my ‘day’ job that I am thinking of these women, who at one time in history were good wives, daughters, sisters and friends to someone. Some of them have blazed the path for all of us, and became the first female doctors, lawyers and business owners. I think also of the forgotten women that once lived glorious happy hour, dinner party lives and were the leaders of the wood- sided station wagon brigade and served as the heart of…See More

*Disclaimer: I really try to stay away from the ever ugly politics and religion. I really do. Today I just feel compelled to have a conversation.
My intention is NOT to upset or hurt anyone; honestly…I’m all about love, tolerance and peace. I wish we could just learn to use the correct words.
So a strange ‘thing’ happened at the grocery store the other day. In front of me, walking in the door was a woman in full burka…

I have been a ‘writer’ for years. I started covering school board meetings and counsel meetings in my small town for the small town’s small newspaper. I spent hours on each piece making sure I did not miss a word; or the most embarrassing of all I would just die if I miss quoted anyone.
I realize those were the days when I was learning my craft, preparing for my dream of writing fiction. I wanted to write books but I had to be patient. I had to do my time.

Jean J. Blackwood said… - Hi Doreen, Thanks for the message. I am glad to hear that Tate Publishing is interested in your work. I found Tate to be quite helpful and supportive to me in this experience. I was impressed with Stacy Baker who was my acquisitions rep. and it was a pleasure working with Kristen Verser who designed the cover of my book. Most of all I really enjoyed working with Nathan Harmony who worked with me on the layout design. He was receptive to my ideas, and very creative in his suggestions. I would definitely recommend Tate Publishing, but also be aware that you will have to do your share in promoting and making the book a success. Just go for it with gusto! - Jean
