[Stylist] Writer's Digest Book

[llambert at zoominternet.net]

Thank you, Jackie, for your kind note.

I am so sorry your group has broken up - that happens, in time. I was a
member of a very little group of poets for about 18 years - and we met in
each other's homes all that time. We met in the morning, one day a month,
and we had lunch together and read our work to each other. How I miss those
dear ladies!  We put out a chapbook together, and before it was published
one member passed away.  We were just 4 women who loved poetry and enjoyed
sharing our work with each other.  Three of the four were visual artists.
The other one was a poet laureate of a county in PA. 

I know you must greatly miss your poetry friends, too. 

This evaluation was so helpful to me - as writing is a very solitary life -
as is art making.  We are accustomed to spending our days alone in a
solitary studio and working on new pieces for upcoming exhibitions.

 

Once we leave the classroom with our final degree, from that point on it is
all done in isolation and without  others who are on the same path.  I'm
glad I sent Writer's Digest  the book - and grateful for the evaluation. 

I hope you are well and getting your own work done and out there. Lynda

Linda,

This was indeed a wonderful evaluation. All fives!

You gifted my poetry class with this book several years ago. We used it
every month for inspiration. Unfortunately, the group is no longer meeting
due to the closure of the senior center, and the illness of our leader.

I will forward this to her regardless. She will see that it gets out.

My sincere congratulations.

Jacqueline Williams

Good Evening,

I received an email today from the Writer's Digest  Book Awards  and I just
published a post with my evaluation from the juror.

This is something you may want to look into for next year's contest if you
have self-published a book.

I sent them 2 of my books:  Star Signs: New and  Selected Poems (2019)  and
Walking by Inner Vision: Stories & Poems (2017).

The evaluation I  posted on tonight's   blog post is for Walking by Inner
Vision: Stories & Poms, published in 2017 by DLD Books.

 

I will do a separate post next week on the evaluation I received for Star
Signs: New and Selected Poems. 

 

Here is the link if you want to see the results and how the book was
evaluated.  I find this very helpful and I am glad I invested in this
opportunity.

I would  do it again for a self-published book.
