Our Mission:
"Free Spirit Promotions (publisher of Big Blend Magazine) is
a company based on the belief that education is the most
formidable weapon that can be waged against fear, ignorance
and prejudice. It is our belief that education starts at
home and branches outward. Education leads to travel, and
travel leads to understanding, tolerance, and appreciation
of cultures and customs different to our own, and ultimately
to world peace. Our company is further based on the
principle that networking, communication, and helping others
to promote and market themselves leads to financial
stability; thus paving the way to better education, travel,
and the spirit of giving back to the community."
Success
- Your Path to a
Successful Book written by Maralyn D. Hill and Brenda C. Hill and reviewed by
Nancy J. Reid
Writing is both a love and a challenge for those who have an interest
and passion for it. The process from writing, to getting
published, and then marketing your work can appear daunting and
in fact, near impossible. Can you get organized enough? Can you make
enough time? Where do you start? Are you good enough? All these
questions, and more, are answered and presented in an
easy-to-follow book, Success - Your Path to a Successful Book by
Maralyn and Brenda Hill. This is one of those "bible" books a
determined writer should keep close by. Taking you through every
step of the writing process in a clear and concise manner, this is a
"must have."
Success - Your Path to a Successful Book is chock full of tips
and resources--showing an incredible amount of research. It is a
book that will save you tons of time plus set you off in the
right direction, no matter where you might be in the process of
your writing project. It is definitely a book meant to be used,
with handy sections at the end of each chapter, where you can
make notes and add your own research. Part Two on marketing is especially valuable, as so
many writers tend to ignore what has to happen once the writing
is done. If you follow the steps, it becomes something you can
do. Reading through the book will give you an overall knowledge
of the process, saving you time, money and a lot of trial by
error. Recommended for anyone interested in writing-whether
articles or books.
