[stylist] From your Writing Division gathering hostess

[Estelle Shukert]

Hello Shelley,

  My partner and I have been member of the Writers Division for a couple of years. I'm not sure if we are due to pay our dues! I was interested in your comment about self publishing. We tried that one time but were a little disappointed. We thought they would do marketing, but learned later that we would have to pay more for that! Also we were not able to make a second round of edits without a further charge. Any suggestions on a good company for "self" publishing?

  I also wondered if you might know of a publisher in this country that can make braille and print books, with tactile drawings. That's our goal. We are currently trying to get a companion braille book for the printed one that we "self-published." So far our books are short, children's books.

  Thanks for your email. It sounds as if your "gatherings" are in Texas, and we couldn't make that trip. Or are you referring to the phone conferences. We've tried one or two of those.

  Best wishes and thanks again for reaching out!! Estelle Shukert at Ambron Products

Hello Writers,

I am your friendly crazy giddy Writers' Division gathering hostess. For any of you who are new to our list, let me introduce myself. My name is Shelley aka Queen of Bells. I currently live in north Texas with my two cats Pearl and Brandy. Pearl is my editor in chief. Nothing gets to anyone else without her approval. I have been involved in the Writers' Division in some capacity since 1991. I met Lori Stayer at my first breakfast in the hotel in Dallas and I've been involved since that day. I currently serve on the Writers' Division board.
I have a degree in music. I'm currently working on my second novel. I self published my first novel, Trespasser, in 2015. and my second called Brave Pilot is in final fianl release.
Novel writing for me is a labor of love, sometimes it feels like giving birth to a child. I've served as newsletter editor for several different groups including this one. I'm always happy to help where I can.

We have some presenters lined up involved in all kinds of aspects of writing. The dates of the gatherings will be: January 29, February 26 and March 26. Put these dates on your calendars. See you there.

Have a great day and put your writing/ thinking caps on. I'll keep you updated on plans and what's happening.

Happy writing from me and the crew. Keep dreaming!
