SUMMARY:Brooke Warner - Hybrid Publishing\, New Options for Writers in a Changing Industry
DESCRIPTION:Green-Light Your Book is a straight-shooting guide to a changing industry. Written for aspiring authors\, previously published authors\, and independent publishers\, it explains the ever-shifting publishing landscape and helps indie authors understand that they’re up against the status quo\, and how to work within the system but also how to subvert the system in order to succeed. \nPublishing expert and independent publisher Brooke Warner is fearless in her critique of an industry that’s lost its mandate\, and in so doing has opened the door wide for indie publishers to thrive. While she does not shy away from calling out the bias against indie authors\, she also asserts that it’s never been a more exciting time to be in book publishing―and her passion and enthusiasm are contagious. “If you’re going to green-light your work\, you have to wow\,” Warner writes. But to surpass expectations\, you also need to be a student of publishing and to be able to hold your own with book buyers\, event coordinators\, librarians\, wholesalers\, distributors\, and reviewers. Green-Light Your Book seeks to equip authors and publishers with the language\, knowledge\, and skill sets they need to play big.

SUMMARY:Learn the Craft and Business of Memoir
DESCRIPTION:Traci Foust wasn’t a “normal” seven-year-old girl. When all the neighborhood kids were playing outdoors\, Traci was inside making sure the miniature Catholic saint statues in her windowsill always pointed due north\, scratching out bald patches on her scalp\, and snapping her fingers after every utterance of the word God. As Traci got older\, her OCD blossomed to include panic attacks and other bizarre behaviors\, including a fear of the sun\, an obsession with contracting eradicated diseases\, and the idea that she could catch herself on fire just by thinking about it.While stints of therapy—and lots of Nyquil—sometimes helped\, nothing alleviated the fact that her single mother and mid-life crisis father had no idea about how to deal with her. \nSo\, it wasn’t a total shock when she became a teenage runaway on the poetry slam beat in the hippie beach towns of Northern California and had to be dragged home by her family. It also wasn’t too surprising when her mother could no longer stand the stress of having Traci under her roof\, so Traci had a stint of living at a family-owned nursing home\, in a room with a seventy-five-year old WWII Vet who kept mistaking her for a prostitute. \nIn this heartfelt\, funny\, and candid account of her struggles with a variety of psychological disorders\, Traci shows that there is nothing special about being “normal.”
