Hello all! I am a reader (naturally) and also a one-time author. Someday I may try my hand at writing again. For now my only writing project actually involves getting others to write. I'm always on the lookout for a new writers interested in writing a tribute to someone they deem a worthy subject. I published a free book titled Write to Remember in Nov. 2013 with two very specific goals in mind:
1) to remember my loved one (not to forget) and 2) to keep this memory alive in the public mind for a long, long time.
Originally it consisted only of my father's story. Two other authors have since joined in and added their parents' stories. I hope to finish Volume 1 this year on time for the anniversary of my father's passing and would like to be able to include another 6-7 stories (Chapters) to complete it. I hope it is okay to address this group and ask; might there be someone in this Group who would like to honor a loved one/good friend/mentor with a chapter of their very own?
The book is free to download on Amazon and Smashwords. It is also completely free to have your story added as a separate Chapter in the book. Simply message me here and I will reply with the details.
When and if I receive suitable manuscripts, I re-publish the book in both venues with the new Chapters added in, again at no charge. It's my "golden years" hobby and I do it happily to honor the memory of my father and keep passing his story forward. I hope you will read our little book of tributes, enjoy it and want to join in the project. If that is not possible or timely for you, please consider reading and sharing your viewpoint; feedback is essential for improvement.
