I finished the handout packets for students attending my seminar in Atlanta coming up 2 weeks from today. If you live in or near Atlanta and you haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t signed up for my book proposal workshop, March 29, 2008 at 9 a.m. until noon at the Georgia World Congress Center in room B402 (Hall B), do so NOW.

You can still save $25 for an all day pass. The price is only $120. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s okay to sign up the day of the event. The fee then will be $145 for the day. <\/p>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll also be speaking that afternoon for an hour at 2 on the Two Secrets to Publishing Success<\/em>. (Room B401.) If you are the least bit confused about the whole publishing scene, if you have a manuscript or want to write one and don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know much about publishing, if you have a published book that isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t doing all that well in the marketplace, you won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to miss this talk.<\/p>\n

If you live in or around Nashville, come see me at Borders West End March 31, 7 p.m. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll repeat the Two Secrets to Publishing Success<\/em>. This will be my first time in Nashville and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d love to meet some of the city\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s writers and authors. If you would like clarification about the publishing industry and how you can more successfully navigate it, this is an event you won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to miss. And it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s FREE. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have handouts for you, too. Adam, at Borders West End already has my book, The Right Way to Write, Publish and Sell Your Book<\/em> on display in the store. Stop in and see how it looks. Email me with a report: PLFry620@yahoo.com. Take a picture of my book display and send it to me and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll send you a free gift book.<\/p>\n

Anyone from anywhere can email me with your questions. I received a question this morning from a gentleman who writes fiction and nonfiction. He is in a quandary as to which publishing option to choose. I will evaluate his manuscripts and see if I can offer some guidance. As many of you know, it depends on the author and it depends on the manuscript. There is no one-size-fits all publishing choice, is there?<\/p>\n

Note to those of you who frequent this blog: I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m pretty sure that my entries will change somewhat as we move into the week before we travel. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve offered to serve brunch on Easter to a potential of 25 people\u00e2\u20ac\u201donly two of them are of Easter egg-hunting age. One is 17 months and the other is 3. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have the cameras ready for that. <\/p>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been diligent about making daily blog entries for 3 months now, but I may break the routine during the 11 days we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be traveling. I will be in touch, but probably not as often and most likely, my messages won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be as in depth as you are accustomed to. I will attempt to teach and preach about writing and publishing while on the road, but I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not making any promises. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be in travel mode for a total of 5 days. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be in meetings of some sort 3 \u00c2\u00bd days of the trip and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be visiting with friends and seeing the sights the remaining 2 \u00c2\u00bd days. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll also be in work mode\u00e2\u20ac\u201dresponding to email, arranging for our house\/petsitter to ship and deliver books and I have a client with crucial timing on a project and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve promised to help her out. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll do my best to give you something of value in each and every blog entry, however. Any ideas? PLFry620@yahoo.com. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
