IT’S BACK TO SCHOOL SEASON
FOR SENIORS, NOT JUST FOR KIDS
Just in time for the
new “term,” Senior Citizens will finally have the book they’ve repeatedly asked
for. The Writer Within You came off the
press on October 1.
RATED FIVE
STARS ON THE AMAZON SITE
Subtitled,
A Step-By-Step Guide to Writing and Publishing in Your Retirement Years.
this first-of-its-kind book is designed specifically for retired Seniors and
Baby Boomers. No longer will they have to lament, “I’ve got this fabulous book I
want to write, but I don’t know how.”
“Fret no longer,” Leonard Goldman, one of the leading book
reviewers in the U.S. and Canada, counsels them, “Award-winning journalist Charles
Jacobs has come to your rescue with The Writer
Within You, a first-rate book.” The book answers Seniors’ repeated requests
for a comprehensive, easy-to-understand overview that makes the complexities of
the writing and publishing industry manageable.
Leading gurus of the
publishing industry have already praised The
Writer Within You highly. Dan Poynter, internationally recognized author,
coach and lecturer, and Patricia Fry, author of more than 25 books and President
of SPAWN (Small Publishers, Artists and Writers Network) are two of the group of
luminaries who have written testimonials that can be found on the web site
www.retirement-writing.com along with book reviews.
The book guides readers
though the basics of writing in several genres that Seniors state they prefer—the
novel, memoir, how-to and commercial freelancing. Readers are then led carefully
through the complexities of today’s publishing world to help them select the most
effective method of moving their words into print. Following that is a section devoted
to promoting what they have written.
A sample chapter and
complete table of contents for The Writer Within
You can be found on the Press Room pages of the web site. It also contains
both inspirational and instructive articles to help Seniors launch their writing
endeavor whether they choose to write just a single book, articles or begin a new
career as a published author.
The Writer Within You can be purchased
at a substantial discount on the web site
www.retirement-writing.com
or by phoning 800-BOOKLOG. It is also currently available at Amazon.com, Barnes
and Noble.com and Borders.com.
