It’s easier than I would have thought to say goodbye to In Print. As a founding member, I guess I let the organization go when I stepped down from ALL responsibilities. I held many titles, wore many hats, and accomplished many amazing things through the Professional Writers Organization I helped begin with fellow writers Kristin

I gave a presentation at the DeKalb Public Library Author Fair titled, “So, you want to write a book…” I opened with this startling statistic: Did you know 90% of people SAY they want to write a book?

As I’ve mentioned in my previous posts, the In Print affiliate, Chicago Writers’ Association hosted the 6th Annual Writer’s Block Party Saturday, August 26, at the Gail Borden Public Library in Elgin.

I fully expect to skin both knees. To roll an ankle or miss the last step completely and land on my butt. Hard. If pride goes before the fall, my wipe-out is inevitable. Because I couldn’t be more proud. We just wrapped up Word of Art 3 and it was everything I hoped, planned, and

Word of Art is a collaboration of Authors and Artists sponsored by In Print Professional Writers Organization that culminates in an exhibition and book release reception with a program featuring the authors and artists.
