1:33 am - Yay! Here's my book trailer!
|
elementalmuse
|
*Squee!* I'm so excited! My videographer/video editor hubby made this book trailer for me -- from scratch! -- and here's the result! He'll be doing another book trailer for my romance book, as well as book trailers for anyone else who might want one for their book, too. He does a great job (though I'm biased!) and his cost for producing a book trailer is reasonable compared to others who charge to do the same thing! If you have a book and you'd like a trailer (but you can't pay an arm and a leg like some places charge!) drop me a line or e-mail him directly at conquerorworm01@gmail.com and tell him about your book and what you'd like!
Now, here's the book trailer for Sun Signs for Writers!
The full-scale version (ONLY for high-speed internet users!):

1:55 am - New columnist for award-winning FWOI's Inkwell Newswatch
|
elementalmuse
|
Editor Rowdy Rhodes sent me an e-mail this morning with an offer I couldn't refuse. One of the columnists for Freelance Writing Organization International is leaving Inkwell Newswatch and he's offered me the position. As one of the Writer's Digest Top 100 Sites for Writers for 2006, I couldn't turn down the offer. The column name, which Rowdy chose himself, is quite clever: IN Scribe. I'm already writing a column for Mike Geffner's newsletter and have been for months, so now I'm also a columnist with Inkwell Newswatch, too. I want to thank Rowdy for this fine opportunity. And if you've read Inkwell Newswatch, you'll know I'm in good company! If you haven't read it...why haven't you? *nudge, nudge*
If you have any subjects about writing you'd like me to cover in upcoming columns, please e-mail at scribequill@gmail.com with IN SCRIBE as the subject line.
Thanks!

4:59 am - Limited Time Only: Private telephone consultations with The Writer's Astrologer
|
elementalmuse
|
Bev Walton~Porter is The Writer's Astrologer. Her book, Sun Signs for Writers, blends the subjects of writing and astrology in an unusual way that intrigues, motivates, and inspires readers not only to know themselves better in an astrological way, but as creative persons as well.
As a full-time author, editor and associate astrologer, Bev's work has appeared in numerous publications since she became a professional writer/columnist/editor ten years ago.
For a limited time, Bev is offering one-on-one, personal telephone consultations for writers seeking individual advice on creativity and writing through the unique application of astrology. Bev will offer a personal reading and insights into who you are as a person -- and who you are as a creative -- by analyzing the astrological influences/characteristics evident in your personal birth (natal) chart.
Personal phone consultations are limited. Current scheduling is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
++ Consultations are available in blocks of 15 minutes ($20) and 30 minutes ($40).
++ There are NO additional charges for the telephone call itself if you reside in the United States (additional charges for overseas calls may apply).
++ During your personal consultation, Bev will cast your birth (natal) chart and discuss your astrological characteristics as they relate to your personality as well as your writing and creativity.
++ Consultations will include a combination of astro-creative information as well as doses of practical question-answer advice.
++ Confused by, or skeptical of, astrology? Let me know and I'll tailor your personal telephone consultation based on your personal preferences.
++ In order to render a client's natal chart and creativity reading, clients must provide accurate data (date of birth, time of birth* and location of birth). If no birth time is available, the chart will not include information on the ascendant (rising) sign.
++ Clients may ask both general and specific questions related to writing/creativity even if they do not directly pertain to the client's astrological chart.
++ Astrological/creative consultations are for entertainment/information purposes only. Progress and/or results as a writer/creative are solely dependent upon each individual client/writer and his/her actions or decisions.
++ No guarantees, implied or otherwise, will be made regarding the information, suggestions and/or advice discussed with clients regarding their personal and/or professional lives.
For additional questions, or to reserve your date/time for a personal consultation with The Writer's Astrologer, e-mail sunsignsforwriters@comcast.net with PERSONAL CONSULTATION in the e-mail subject line.
To learn more about Sun Signs for Writers, visit http://www.astrologyforwriters.com.
Contact Bev for private consultations, interviews, appearances, workshops, online writing courses or conferences through her website at http://www.bevwaltonporter.com or e-mail scribequill@gmail.com.
