Sharing the news, a book was born
In Chapter Two of A Book is Born co-authors discuss sharing the news of their book with family and friends. Responses can be mixed from one end of a supportive spectrum to the other end of envious disdain. Last week I enjoyed the experience of sharing A Book is Born with our family here in Deadwood. Mind you, every holiday I give out books that Wyatt-MacKenzie has published, but no one quite understands what it is I actually “do” to those books.

So this year, halfway through dessert, I handed out copies of A Book is Born around the table and proudly added, “This one’s mine.” An inquisitive groan went around the table and Uncle Lee asked some flattering questions as Joey grabbed the camera (thanks hon!) It was a great moment in time, and the local paper here on the Oregon coast, “The Suislaw News” even gave me some back-up, running my press release on the same day. Wyatt and MacKenzie rolled their eyes at having their photo in yet another newspaper, and our cousin announced her baby’s photo was recently on the cover of their big city paper too.
And while the home reception was warmly gratifying, the nationwide response has been numbing! I am beyond thrilled receiving emails from readers ready and inspired to start their publishing journey. We’ve signed some amazing women. And, our Imprint Program has exploded. Word is out and the most amazing individuals and organizations are lining up for strategic publishing partnerships.
Wyatt-MacKenzie is getting ready for a wild 2008!
