It takes practice to perfect it, and sharing it with other independent publishers helps an author to find what is natural, effective and comfortable. I think being comfortable with what you are saying is half of being good at it.

Hello Sue, 

Much gratitude for your email and in sharing your experience.  I value your agreement in the importance of educating our children from an early age.   Reading is a beautiful gift we can easily pass on.

Blessings,  Antoinette

Hi there -- just wanted to drop by your page and invite you personally (or at least virtually) to our first-ever She Writes Orlando Florida meetup, celebrating our first-anniversary! We are so grateful to the event's organizer, Kemari Howell, for taking a risk and stepping up to host. I hope you will support her and bring yourself and other women who write (no need for them to be members) to the Orlando gathering. At the meetup writers will take part in the She Writes "Book Communion," where attendees arrive with one book, their own or another She Writers', new or gently used, and leave with another book as a meaningfully way to support one another's work. We will also be blowing out a candle and making a wish for our upcoming writing year -- along with She Writers gathering in 16 cities around the country. I hope you will be part of this historic (well, at least kind of cool) occasion, and RSVP now to Kemari.

Hi Sue,
I'm an independent publisher -- by choice also -- in Reno. I founded Writers of the Purple Sage Publishing Consortium, a group of writers in Northern Nevada who are teaching ourselves about the ins and outs of self-publishing. I'm interested in learning more about the Expresso Book Machine. What is it? Where can I find info?
