ONE WEEK TO GO!

The "big launch" of Wordsy Woman Word Sales and Service is just one week away. I will be at the Midwest Writing Center's David R. Collins Writers' Conference Book Fair next Saturday, June 30th, at Rogalski Center on the St. Ambrose University campus in Davenport, Iowa, from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. I'll have a nearly life-size cut out of the Wordsy Woman on display, brochures, and other freebies.

If you don't come to see the Wordsy Woman or take a look at my book, Crush and Other Love Poems for Girls, then check out books from the other some thirty local authors in attendance. Or come for one of the fun, free children's activities from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. OR come hear some of the readers scheduled.

TRANSITION ALMOST COMPLETE

Lots of good news this week!

The new website is up, finished, and functional! The MWC Press and 918 Studio Creative Writing Primer, to which I contributed two essays, is up for sale through Midwest Writing Center and as an immediate download for the Kindle/Kindle app.

The official launch of Wordsy Woman will take place on Saturday, June 30, 2012, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the David R. Collins Writers' Conference Book Fair at the Rogalski Center on the St. Ambrose University campus located at 518 West Locust Street in Davenport, Iowa. I will be signing and selling copies of Crush and Other Love Poems for Girls (which is also available for Kindle) and celebrating my new identity as the Wordsy Woman. I'll have brochures, cards, and other swag to handout to celebrate The Wordsy Woman Word Sales and Service.

Regular posts about interesting Wordsy topics will start shortly after the Book Fair. Stay tuned!

MY NEW PUBLISHED WORDS!

The Midwest Writing Center and 918 Studio teamed up to publish MWC Press' first ebook. "The Creative Writing Primer" is a collaboration of essays about various aspects of creative writing, including by yours truly. I have two entries in the work: "Writing as Creative Practice" and "Techniques in Poetry."

Midwest Writing Center is a non-profit organization which is dear to my heart. Its sole mission is "fostering appreciation of the written word, supporting and educating its creators." MWC has helped me immensely as a writer from learning opportunities to helping other writers to organizing events to building my portfolio.

"The Creative Writing Primer" ebook is available in Kindle, iPad,and Nook formats for a steal at $1.99. The entire profit, which amounts to roughly $1.65 after PayPal fees, directly benefits MWC, allowing them to further their mission and provide all of their services and events for writers and readers.
