Books - Writing - Excerpts |

In a highly competitive book market, with 500,000 to one million books published annually, it is nearly impossible for new authors to sell their books without marketing.
Value-added marketing is a well-known strategy. The phrase, "Would you like chips with that?" is a good example. Something low cost is added to make the overall purchase look more valuable.
Book marketing is a different story. If we assume for a moment that reading is a positive activity, even educational, then we can allow ourselves to feel good about marketing. - The question is, "Can value-added marketing work to sell books?"

The first rule is that rules are guides. They are not laws, and you can’t be jailed if you break them. - I am not keen on rules, but I like to know them. For me and my writing style, awareness of the rule is more important than the rule itself. When I write, I don’t think about rules, spelling or grammar; I just write.
The best rule to adhere to is: “Write”; everything else will follow.

Apple TV’s new drama series “The New Look” hits the spot with a dream cast. It stars three of my favourite artists, Ben Mendelsohn as Dior, Juliette Binoche as Chanel, and John Malkovich as Lelong.
The story of how those fashion icons and others navigate the horrors of World War II and the launch of Dior’s “New Look”. Inspired by actual events, it follows Parisian high fashion through the devastation in the final year of World War II and beyond.
PS. The sketch by Giselle of Ben Mendelsohn does not reflect his role but rather an impression of him as a complex artist. |

Clear evidence is demonstrated daily within hospitals and clinics that art benefits well-being and, therefore, is a welcome adjunct to traditional therapies.
Art reduces all kinds of clinical symptoms, including stress and depression, as well as supporting cancer patients. Art activities are not limited to visual art; music is a substantial therapeutic tool, and so are poetry, sculptors, potters and, where possible, dancers. - Read more - Art Therapy |
