Have you visited the SPAWN website, lately? SPAWN is Small Publishers, Artists and Writers Network. http:\/\/www.spawn.org<\/a> .<\/p>\n

For a good part of this year, we\u2019ve been working to re-organize SPAWN and we\u2019ve managed to create a whole new look as well as a whole new structure. We also plan to offer members more of the things they need in order to succeed with their creative projects. You can help us to determine that that is. Join SPAWN today and fill out our member survey. Be a part of SPAWN\u2019s future. <\/p>\n

Susan Daffron of Logical Expressions (President of SPAWN) has spent months redesigning the SPAWN website. This weekend, she put the finishing touches on the ecommerce aspect of it and we are now able to accept credit cards in our ebook store as well as for membership.
