Five Great Quotations about Book Critics Writing Prompt: Go people watching

Editor unveiling ‘Writing Affirmations’

I’ll unveil my latest book, Writing Affirmations: A Collection of Positive Messages to Inspire Writers at my hometown bookstore in Menomonie, Wis., on Saturday, Nov. 29.

Writing Affirmations offers uplifting, meaningful phrases that can be read outloud or internalized weekly over the course of a year to inspire writers. Prompts and tips follow each affirmation, giving writers the encouragement and motivation to keep writing. The advice is based on my long-time experience as a creative writing teacher, editor, and bestselling author of more than a dozen books.

The event runs from 2 to 4 p.m at Bookends on Main, 214 East Main St., in historic downtown Menomonie, and is part of Small Business Saturday in which independent bookstores promote local authors. Writing Affirmations as well as my other titles will be available for sale at Bookends on Main during the event.

Need an editor? Having your book, business document or academic paper proofread or edited before submitting it can prove invaluable. In an economic climate where you face heavy competition, your writing needs a second eye to give you the edge. Whether you come from a big city like Grand Rapids, Michigan, or a small town like Frying Pan Landing, North Carolina, I can provide that second eye.
