Top Ten Twitter Tweets of April 18, 2020

 

Good Authoring Day to YOU 

Still working on catch up projects. Accepting the Unacceptable by Denice Reich went to the printers this week—an amazing book by an even more amazing woman. My octogenarian at 88 is more than halfway done with her rewrites and editing of What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?—go JC … GO

I hope you are using the sequestered time to fine-tune a project, start a new one … even get ready to implement a book marketing campaign!

 

It was week three for my online How to Write a Nonfiction Book in 4 Weeks group. Several have already written several chapters—four are approaching the halfway writing mark… love it. Not only do I love the variety of authors and the books-to-be that are represented, but to the interaction amongst all of us … plus the “cross help” that is now occurring … and of course support for each. Note: I will repeat this in May—it’s on my website—www.TheBookShepherd.com—there are only 5 slots left. We meet on Wednesdays via Zoom at 3 pm Mountain time.

Alert to all of you in Colorado who are VIP AuthorYOU members … the April second Saturday AuthorYOU Salons of the year is slated for May 9 may be live or virtual … depending on the Governor of Colorado. Either way, it starts at 8.30 a.m., ending at 11.30 a.m.

If it’s on Zoom—I’ll post the link (copy and paste in your browser) in the last Twitter blog in April.

 

Take care of yourself …
