The Official Launch of SCRIBES' TRIBUNE, The Multi-Author, Multi-Genre Newsletter

 

It’s official…

I am now part of a newsletter collective with other authors.

Yesterday saw the inception of a new way for authors to share their upcoming releases, backlist books, works in progress, and more.

Scribe’s Tribune is a multi-author newsletter, created by Xek K.D. Rychtevorik, Dawn Weast, and yours truly. We wanted to have our own newsletters because all of us are growing as authors, and getting more and more recognized, but none of us wanted to do it all ourselves.

When Xek first mentioned the idea of a multi-author newsletter to me, I was intrigued. I had never heard of a multi-author newsletter outside of the ones like Extasy Books sends out periodically announcing the new releases, featured stories, the Extasy Books Blog, the latest Editor’s Choice recipients, and more. A multi-author one we do ourselves seemed like an easier, fun, and great way to get our books and other updates to our readers.

This also makes it easier on the subscribers. All of the news from their favorite authors in one spot, via one email. Plus it also gives them an opportunity to discover new authors, new genres and more.

We are accepting applications for authors who would love to participate by submitting articles once per month. All genres are welcome, from kids’ books to romance, and from comedy and poetry to horror. All authors welcome – indie like Xek, trad like me, or a combination of the two. We welcome all authors from all genres who are willing to pitch in one short article each month. That’s all.

You can apply to be a member of the Scribes’ Tribune community here.

If you are a reader and want updates from our fast expanding community, just leave your name and email on this form.

I’m so tickled to be one of the founding members of this amazing, fun and talented community, and I’m so flattered that Xek asked me to join in from the get go.

Here’s our first edition, released today. It’s an “About the Author” for Dawn, Xek and myself. Enjoy!

Our next edition will be published on April 28, 2024, hopefully with more than the three of us. Watch for it!!!

I leave you with one of my favorite songs of all time, featuring my favorite lady guitarist – Nancy Wilson – and one of my favorite singers, Ann Wilson...  “Alone” by Heart.

Have a great long weekend everyone!

The Official Launch Of...........

This is it! 

Today is the official launch of my new author's website! I'm very excited and pleased to see it go "live" to everyone around the world!

I've been thinking about doing something like this for a while, as a way to get the name out there and to showcase some of my photography from various venues that actually appear in Book 1, aka "No Regrets". So far, the site is very plain, but it includes the same banner I use on my Facebook public profile, a slideshow featuring shots of various places like Mahone Bay and Lunenburg, a brief biography and a little surprise for anyone who visits it!

The special people who got a prescreening seemed to love it and after they gave me some creative criticism, I tweaked things until they were perfect. The site looks great and I'm so happy to have my own website now, as a way to get the name out there even more and to promote my books! 

I humbly to invite all of you to visit...

Thank you to all of my fans, friends, family and loved ones who supported me in the first stages of my journey to become published! I'm not quite there yet but hopefully I'll soon be able to announce I will be published one way or another, whether it's via a publishing house or self publishing of some sort! Much love to all of you who have been there for me during every single step of my journey!

On another note, my wonderful husband and I officially became a couple 22 years ago today... So it's a double celebration for me!

Happy Labor Day and have a wonderful week everyone!
