Year two is closing in and It is already looking to be another epic event! After the crowd we had last year filled up the Hasan Shrine, we had to upgrade our location!

#AmWriting Cover Reveal

AmWriting Cover Placeholder

Knowing what you know now of writing, publishing, and putting your art out into the world, if you could go back to the day you sat down to start typing in your very first manuscript, what words would you offer to yourself? Words of encouragement? Words of advice? Caution against certain pitfalls? Would you change anything about how you got to where you are today? The publishing community is so much bigger than it was before the self-publishing boom and it continues to grow exponentially every day. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come with a handbook or support group. The book is to provide words of encouragement or advice to those just starting out or those who have become discouraged in their art. At Pure Textuality PR, we believe in supporting each other as a community, and we felt this project would be a good way to bring writers together and maybe give some new artists just the right nudge to keep going. 100% of the net proceeds of #amwriting will go to benefit The Wayne Foundation, a charity dedicated to offering aid and services to young women victimized by illegal sexual exploitation and the sexual trafficking of minors.
KEEP READING TO SEE THE COVER!

Authors for Autism



I want to thank you in advance for participating in this anthology collection. All of the royalties from this book will go toward Surfers for Autism (http://surfersforautism.org/) which is the charity Space Coast Book Lovers is sponsoring at their 2017 signing event. I will keep a collection of all the proceeds and donate it at the signing. After that, I will keep in contact with the organization and continue to donate. This is a cause near and dear to my heart. My brother has Asperger's syndrome and my daughter is also Autistic.

I am not one to put restrictions on stories, but I have had some ask for some guidelines.

1.      Deadline for submission will be November 1, 2016. This will give me plenty of time to have the book out and ready for the event in June.
2.      Stories must be a romance. I am not picky on what type of romance; however, I would prefer a more romance feel than an erotic feel.
3.      Stories should be between 3000-8000 words.
4.      Please submit in Word so that I can send back your edited copy more easily. I will be paying for the editing and cover art, but will make sure to send any editing back to you for approval.

If there are any further questions, feel free to email me about it. My email is cherronriser@gmail.com. You can also message me on Facebook which goes straight to my phone. This is the link to my Facebook account. Feel free to send me a friend request. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100004273095608

Please fill out the following form so I can keep a list of who is interested. I plan to start up a group for all of us to keep in contact with one another. I will also send out emails to keep all of us on track with our stories.


Once again, thank you for your submission, and I look forward to seeing this book go far!
