Publishing a Book by the Numbers

The first draft: fifty per cent lack of motivation, fifty per cent problems with concentration.

This is spot-on!

Happy book birthday to @larabern10! Excited to see her novel SHADOW OF THE TAJ is the #1 New Release in Indian Literature on Amazon. “Lara Bernhardt writes with ferocious honesty and tenderness, laying open the world of human trafficking of young girls with a bright spear of hope.”—Jacquelyn Mitchard #literaryfiction #fiction #womensfiction #humantrafficking #India https://www.instagram.com/p/B2-PabZB74N/?igshid=r9vm35iuz84k

What a thrill to go to the theater with my daughter to see the extraordinary movie she’s been working on for the past year and see her name in the credits! #onceuponatimeinhollywood #editorial #productionassistant #LA #filmmaking #proudmom (at AMC 7 Santa Monica) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0aR_zABD3f/?igshid=1ercyt9qe1vm9

Congrats to @christina_adams_author on her book deal with @newworldlibrary for CAMEL CRAZY, coming out this fall! This book will be a fascinating blend of narrative and health and science reportage, telling the story of her discovery of camel milk’s benefits for autism, allergies, diabetes and immune dysfunction, her pioneering efforts to bring it to the U.S. (it’s now sold at Whole Foods), and offering portraits of distinct camel cultures from Middle Eastern deserts to Amish farms that cherish these unique animals. 🐪 #camel #camelmilk #animals #narrativenonfiction #health #functionalmedicine #functionalfood #autism #immunesystem #diabetes #allergies https://www.instagram.com/p/BsbbPLfH2hv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zsf3yohun9m8

Boozy Bookstores Where You Can Drink and Read

Whether you’re sipping wine by the fire with a juicy page-turner in your lap or having a beer on the beach with a trashy novel in hand, so

Books + booze.

Check out the book trailer for CRAWL OF FAME, which tells the inspiring story of Julie Moss’ legendary 1982 triathlon finish. The book comes out on October 2, in time for her return to the Kona Ironman.

In Order to Write, It Must Be Right

A room of one’s own? The cartoonist Grant Snider thinks a writer needs a lot more than that.

I got my advance copy of @noramurphycountryhouse’s book and it’s gorgeous! I’m so excited to see this come out in September. Bravo Nora and @vendomepress! #countryliving #interiordesign #interiordesigner #countryhouse #gardening #design #decor #houses #lifestyle #lifestyleblogger

I love the cover design for my clients' book coming out this Fall, just in time for the 40th anniversary of the Ironman. Julie Moss is still as fast as she was in the iconic 1982 race!
