[stylist] Fw: [Writers-chat] making a book

[Donna Hill]

Barbara,
Great idea, and I hope you will follow it up with a press release to your
local papers about your generous donation. I think (and I'm not sure what
your time frame is here) that more writing would be a better idea than any
pictures that aren't related to the poetry. If you have the time, you might
want to seek the assistance of a local photographer or artist to see if they
have something that could go with some of the poems or writing. It wouldn't
have to be a lot of pictures, just a few pertenant ones, especially if
there's some local connection. Then, your press release would be about
donations of both of your work.

Let us know what happens with it.
Donna

Sent it to the wrong list since no one seems to be using the other.

Okay, here's the deal.  The alumni association always has an auction to
raise money and while discussing whether or not to have one this year, I
suggested that I could contribute a book for auction.
I have written several poems about the school and some of my
experiences-that can generalize to other people-and have a few questions
Since it's a specific audience and they'd be biddeing on a product of which
they know of most of what's in there, should I just do only the poems?  I
don't have any pictures to put in the print ones but for print and Braille I
could find some trivia.  Thing is the trivia would not relate at all to the
poems.
I could also take the approach of telling some of my story around the poems.
I need some major help with this project.
Barbara
