Eva was our first coaching class teacher, OCW Summer Conf, 2003(?). So good to see her again and be challenged to, in the tradition of Nehemiah, rebuild the wall with our tools (pens and computers) while holding our swords (the Word of God) in the other. To drop either is to fail.
Do you ever wish you could go to a writing conference for free? Like maybe attend the national ACFW conference without leaving your home or spending a cent? Well, I think buying the MP3s of the conference would be well worth your money, but here’s a little bonus for you non-ACFW members: The 2009 ACFW Afictionado E-zine, chockful of informative articles. I am partial to the recap of Workshop 21, and I’m sure you will quickly see why. 🙂
A woman who lives in Ridgecrest, CA knew she’d be having surgery soon, so went into the Christian bookstore to load up on reading material. She asked the salesperson for any recommendations.
“Here.” The person handed a book over. “We don’t know anything about this author, but we’ve been getting great feedback on the story.”
And Barb, my parents’ friend from when Mom was pregnant with me, found herself holding The Familiar Stranger. 🙂 How cool is that?!?
Christina:
It doesn’t come any cooler.
Hi Christina –
What a great story! Word of mouth is a fabulous marketing tool.
Tell a friend about the great book you read this week. 🙂
Blessings,
Susan
Thanks, quietspirit!
Susan, what a good reminder! If I hope readers are doing that for me, then I need to be doing the same for other authors on a regular basis. 🙂
