We have a wonderful day planned with multi-published speakers and authors Melanie Dickerson, Teri Horsley, Linore Burkard, and Donna Shepherd with classes on writing a book proposal, children's writing, creating believable characters, marketing, and more! We'll wrap up our day with a call to action and singing with Donna.
Are you a writer, leader or speaker, or do you aspire to be one? If you live in or near southwestern Ohio, treat yourself to the upcoming Greater Harvest Workshops where multi-published authors and speakers will present insider tips and instruction on such topics as:
Improving Your Platform
Promoting Your Work
How to Write the Novel Inside You
How to Write Children's Books
Public Speaking
And more.
We do this in a friendly atmosphere of camaraderie and--snacks!! We have fun. If you have ever felt the call to write, lead, or speak, we want to encourage you. Together, we offer enough know-how and shortcuts to move you forward with your God-given gift of using words. Don't settle for wishful thinking and just hoping that someday you'll get it together. God can use you. Together, we want to help you be ready for action and move forward in your calling.

The Lonely Lightning Bug (Guardian Angel Publishing) - eBook
The Lonely Lightning Bug is a beautifully illustrated story about a young boy who comes across a lightning bug and learns the value and need for freedom. The colors pop and the pictures bring Ms. Shepherd's words to life. My children enjoyed this short tale and I have to say, I enjoyed reading it to them. As an added incentive, all proceeds from the sale of this book are given to StarShine Hospice- the Hospice of Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. - Reviewed by Sandra Barkevich (http://tcm-ca.com/reviews/1424.html)
