Join me at the Publishing at Sea Cruise this MARCH

This is a different blog today. It has an opportunity for you and your book in a quasi-faraway place with me for a week next March … as in March 2-9, 2025. You need to let me know by October 1st if you want to join me and other publishing and marketing pros.

The Western Caribbean is the destination and the port we depart from is Galveston, Texas. Our ship … a cruising fan on the Royal Caribbean line, is the Harmony at Seas. I call Publishing at Sea … and you should be thinking book marketing at sea as you read this.

I’m a firm believer in getting away to learn. To merge with others of “like-minded” … away from home, from the office, from everyday “noise” and I do it at least once a year.

Sometimes it’s a learning conference just for me. Sometimes, it’s a writing retreat where the phone, the staff, the doorbell, the anything that is in my normal daily routine is a distractor.

It’s why I work and escape on cruises.

Full care—do what I want.
A variety of food choices.
Interesting people to meet (if I choose to).
I can be a hermit if I want.
It’s got the water and sun factors I crave.

For authors, the Publishing at Sea Cruise and Workshop scheduled for March 2-9, 2025, may just be the perfect week for you—your book marketing—working on your next book—or just hanging out with other authors. We have an awesome faculty. Workshops are on at Sea Days. When in Ports, I want to discover, play, and enjoy the country and what it offers.

Details of the cruise and workshops are on the Publishing at Sea website. Your ship is the beautiful Harmony of the Seas with Royal Caribbean—it’s a huge ship, with plenty of nooks to claim. Central Park is a personal favorite plus the Solarium … and of course, my balcony is connected to my stateroom. It works well for workshops and conferences.

Departure day is March 2 from the port in Galveston and returns on the 9^th. I recommend that you be in Texas the day before.

Join us! If you are interested in coming—FINAL DATE TO RESERVE YOUR SPOT to join the Publishing at Sea group is October 1st– any staterooms will be reclaimed by the ship to sell to other cruisers. Call or text me NOW at 303-885-2207 if you are in.
