Update on "Birthing Your Book"

Tom Bird's Atlanta retreat, "Write Your Publishable Book in a Weekend," will be held October 6-8, 2012, and is being sponsored by local author and life coach Patrice Dickey: <pdcom@mindspring.com> or 404-294-9333. You can register now at a substantial discount: $500 off the regular price of $1495.

Here's what my herbalism teacher and mentor, Patricia Kyritsi Howell, had to say about this event: "Tom Bird is the person I worked with to write my book Medicinal Plants of the Southern Appalachians in 2005. I can highly recommend Tom and his method for getting you writing!"

Several people have said to me, "I just don't believe you can write and publish a book in a weekend." And they're right. No book worth reading has ever been published without revisions and editing (even Jack Kerouac had an editor). But for many people -- like me -- the hardest part is the first step, getting it ALL down on paper. For me, the opportunity to complete a first draft is too good to miss. That's why I'll be at Tom Bird’s Write Your Publishable Book in a Weekend Retreat, October 6-8, 2012 at the Comfort Inn & Suites Airport North in College Park.
