I\u2019m Traveling Again<\/strong>
\nMy blog posts will be hit and miss this weekend. I\u2019ll be out of town to a family wedding.<\/p>\n

Want to Speak to Authors in Atlanta<\/strong>
\nIn the meantime, I\u2019m looking for some opportunities to speak about authorship in the Atlanta area in late February\/early March. A friend is presenting her play, Who\u2019s There in the Atlanta area and I want to go. When I travel, I always look for opportunities to meet other authors and share with them. So if you know of any groups that meet in that area or community programs seeking speakers on topics of interest to authors, let me know ASAP.<\/p>\n

I already have one invitation to a small writers group in the Griffin area. Yeah! I\u2019d like to meet up with one or two others while I\u2019m there.<\/p>\n

Give Books for Christmas<\/strong>
\nAre you giving books for Christmas? How about purchasing them from the authors you know from your writers\u2019 group, through your publishing organization, from the writing conference you attended or that you meet throughout the course of your busy days. I\u2019m giving books to seven people on my list from four authors I know\u2014a spiritual story, a novel, a book of cat stories and a children\u2019s book. <\/p>\n

Support authors just like you want to be supported in your writing\/publishing efforts. <\/p>\n

If you know a budding author, present him or her with my book, The Right Way to Write, Publish and Sell Your Book.<\/strong><\/em> http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/rightway.html<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
