Athena Isle
Author Elizabeth Yarnell, who independently published and promoted her first book until it was acquired by a major publishing house, will be the guest speaker on Wed. 16 July at the Athena Isle Writers meeting at 12 p.m. PST in Second Life.
Athena Isle Writers sponsors weekly meetings to provide writers with networking options and ways to enhance their writing careers. The noon Wednesday meetings are held at Story Mountain Center for Writers on Athena Isle.
After being rejected by a stack of publishers, Yarnell published her best-selling, award-winning first book: "Glorious One-Pot Meals: A new quick & healthy approach to Dutch oven cooking. " She learned how to be her own publicist and landed everything from television appearances to stories in national magazines, prominent newspapers, and radio shows.
After selling more than 10,000 copies of "Glorious One-Pot Meals," Yarnell acquired a New York agent, and her book was picked up by Broadway Books, an imprint of Random House. Now she shares her publicity expertise through workshops, seminars, as a publicity coach, and on her Web site “Recipes for Publicity: Cooking up strategies to get yourself noticed by the media and online communities”
