If you live, work or will be in Western North Carolina, I am inviting you to the VIP Authors Asheville! Open House on Tuesday, July 5 at 7:00pm to learn more about this new writer’s group!

Everyone who attends will receive a thank you gift and one writer will be selected from among those who join the writers group to receive a the Grand Prize: Publishing Made Easy & Profitable digital program, a $177 value.

Why Join VIP Authors Asheville?

One of the most rewarding aspects of my 35-year publishing career has been facilitating Writers Groups. Members are uplifted, empowered and inspired by the experience of sharing, learning and supporting one another.

The only downside I noticed when I joined my first group in South Florida over 10 years ago was a lack of publishing knowledge among members. The talent was evident, but no one knew what to do with the material once complete, or how to get published.

So I was prompted to share my knowledge. I offered a small workshop, which soon grew to a weekly meeting that offered 30-minutes of instruction and 90 minutes of sharing and feedback. The members of these groups finished and published their books because they focused on improving their writing skills and becoming educated about the business of publishing.

Today, the publishing industry is upside down from where it was from only a few years ago, from where it had been for the past 50 to 75 years. Writers have much more opportunity to see their work published than ever before in history, but that doesn’t mean that it’s easy to do.

Having the how-to knowledge or a mentor who can guide you along the path in this new publishing environment is an invaluable asset and truly an essential ingredient to publishing success.

And so, I am inspired to create such in an environment in Asheville!

Please join me at the Open House on July 5 at 7:00pm to learn more about the group, meet other writers and receive a free gift just for attending. All genres welcome.
