PATHWAYS TO PUBLICATION AT IPSWICH ARTS

A poet, a flash-fiction author, a novelist, and a crime writer walk into a bar. Okay, not really, but we'll be walking into the Ipswich Arts Association to discuss pathways to publication on November 11 at 6:00 pm at the IAA's monthly meeting held at 12 Meetinghouse Green in Ipswich, MA.

Join me as we celebrate the launch of Joan Wilking's amazing novel, A SIGN OF THE TIMES, a story of resilience and sibling love. 

Rev. Rebecca Pugh, senior minister of the First Church of Ipswich, will read selections of her poetry.

Carolyn R. Russell, screenwriter and author, will read her flash fiction and talk about her publication journey, her books, and her project in the works with a major Hollywood studio.

And me. I'll talk about the relaunch of my trilogy and all of the dumb mistakes I've made along the way. Well, maybe not all, but a lot of them.

AI SLOP AND LOL

 I'm in good company with authors getting AI-spammed offers of amazing promotional deals or co-authoring with James Patterson or Stephen King. This one made me laugh out loud. I did not write a Christian book. Nothing against books that hinge on religion or religious concepts, but getting this "offer" affirmed my decision to have my book cover of THE TROUBLES redesigned.

Hi Connie,

I'm Pastor *** with Kingdom Marketplace Shop and the Kingdom Marketplace Podcast. We sit down with Christian authors and Kingdom-minded business owners to shine a light on their work and the message God has placed on their heart. Each conversation runs 20-25 minutes and is recorded from wherever you are, so there's no travel involved.

I'd love to feature you as a guest.

We'd talk about your journey, the story behind your work, and how you're building it on Kingdom principles, then share it with listeners across the Kingdom Marketplace Podcast and the Kingdom Pastor's Heart Channel.

There's one more thing I'd like to put in front of you: the All Things Kingdom Conference on Saturday, November 14 at the Stafford Opera House in Columbus, Texas, presented by the Kingdom Marketplace Podcast. We have a limited number of vendor tables and sponsor packages available for Kingdom-minded businesses, and general admission tickets go on sale October 1.

If either opportunity interests you, just reply to this email and I'll send over the details and available recording times.

Be blessed,
Pastor ****

Here's the original cover. It served its usefulness in bringing attention to the book and The Jessica Trilogy series.
