National Association of Independent Writers and Editors (NAIWE)

#NAIWE Training Tuesday Using Your Book to Develop Multiple Streams of Income Guest: NAIWE’s Executive Director April Michelle Davis Writing is no longer a lucrative career. The most recent study by the Authors Guild, a professional organization for book writers, shows that it may not even be a livable career. The people who write books usually have other sources of income, presenting it as a hobby as opposed to a valuable vocation. In this webinar, we will discuss the theme of NAIWE membership: developing multiple streams of income. And we will discuss how to leverage your book to succeed in a career in writing! Here’s what you can expect to learn in this class: Statistics about the publishing industry to guide your PR decisions The importance of learning new technology How to develop a PR campaign for your book Ideas for what to include in your PR campaign Duration: 1 hour, 32 minutes https://lnkd.in/ey8hE3yH And don’t forget to log in to the NAIWE site to access your discount code!

People grow into one of two mindsets. One group of people are really good at what they do, and they are also good at following directions. Therefore, they are good at being employees. There is another group of people who have a set of skills and are also good at seeing opportunities. They are independent minded, marching to their own beat. In Unemployable: How I Hired Myself, the author Alysia Silberg describes her upbringing in the poor and crime-ridden side of Johannesburg, South Africa. However, her father, a former Hollywood makeup artist, brought light into her world through his pharmacy and costume store. He would tell her that she was a gifted seller, that she had a “divine sparkle.” https://lnkd.in/eQQysPEZ

#NAIWE Member Monday In the past few days, I have been watching “The Chosen,” which chronicles the life of Jesus and his disciples during the ministry. “The Chosen” has really touched my life, and I believe it has also been a big blessing to Maria. Thank You, God, for your ministry and for touching many lives on Earth and Heaven. We look forward to your return. https://lnkd.in/eZXEDqA8

#NAIWE Member Monday Today is a great day to remember those who have served before, those who were in the military while I was in it, and the current service members. I pray that You will please bless all of us, including our families. Not only did we have to make sacrifices, but our families also had to make sacrifices. They deserve as much of the praise as we do! https://lnkd.in/evqYrWBh

#NAIWE Member Home Thank You Lord for giving me a good night sleep last night in the easy chair. It was the first time in awhile I was able to sleep all night from bedtime to morning without waking up and going to the bathroom. Thank you for letting me open my eyes and letting me do things that I plan to do this morning, such as work on my book, write in the journal, buy eggs at Publix, and enjoy a cup of coffee at Dunkin. https://lnkd.in/eaA_mGpy

#NAIWE Member Monday Thank You for giving me the chance to read your devotion and my daily reading from the Olive Tree app I thank You and am very grateful because You allowed me to open my eyes this morning and see the beautiful day. Lord, I hope my daughter had a great day at work with the Open House yesterday. I pray that she can meet the new students and help them.

#NAIWE On the Blog A scientist is naturally filled with curiosity and a lot of questions, but when Beth discovers that her recently deceased Aunt Kathleen was her mother, Beth is filled with more questions and heartache about never truly knowing her biological mother, nor who her father was. The Scientist, the Psychic, and the Nut is filled with suspense, history, and science — all happening simultaneously while Beth and her husband leave Colorado to go on a Caribbean vacation! To escape the sadness of the loss of her aunt–mother (and honor a dying woman’s advice), Beth books a vacation to rekindle the love she had for her husband. However, Beth also plans to use the trip to look into the history of the area where her aunt–mother lived with her lover (and perhaps Beth’s father) for the last 50 years. https://lnkd.in/eXPzJwnH
