It's that time of month again! Join Lancaster Christian Writers in welcoming local area publishing and print-on-demand expert Mike Williams this coming Saturday, February 16, 2013, at Lancaster Evangelical Free Church, 419 Pierson Rd, Lititz, PA, 17543 from 9:30AM-12 noon ((registration opens at 9).
A publishing consultant with H&H Graphics Group in Lancaster, PA, Mike Williams has been involved in the printing industry for fifteen years. He presently partners with publishers, small and large, up and down the East Coast to make their titles a physical reality. Locally, Mike is a frequent public speaker on marketing and printing topics for the book industry.
Mike describes his workshop, entitled "The Business of Self Publishing" as an informal conversation style event that will help participants recognize and understand the business aspects of self publishing. "Many authors are creatively focused and are often surprised at the depth and breadth of the details required to successfully self publish. Understanding the challenges will help prepare those who forge ahead on the rewarding path of self publishing."

4. FROM JANUARY SPEAKER LISA HESS: Shortly after speaking to LCW in January, Lisa came across another resource that linked "I need to see it" to right-brain thinking and planning. In 100 Ideas for Better Organization, a downloadable document created by Smead (the office supply company), hint #72 shared that right-brain-dominant people are stimulated to thinking and doing by the things they see. And, not surprisingly, there's an office product for that. So take heart, "I need to see it" organizers - we are not alone! For a link to Smead's 100 Ideas for Better Organization and more of Lisa's take on things, visit her blog, The Porch Swing Chronicles at http://l2hess.blogspot.com/2013/01/on-organization-right-brained-thinking.html?m=1.
