Dear :
THANK YOU to everyone who wished me happy birthday. I'm still glowing.
Now, about this "Summit" thingie.
Part of my job as an author is to promote my books. I sometimes do this by public speaking. When someone invites me to talk, I almost always say "Heck Yes!" Because my first book, the memoir Depression Hates a Moving Target, focused primarily on my mental health, I look for gigs that have a mental health angle.
So, when Mel Bibens invited me to speak alongside other authors, some coaches, and therapists at the Depression, Anxiety and Phobia Summit, I eagerly said, "Heck Yes!"
Some of the Summit information is free. But the folks who organize these things spend time and money creating them. To earn their keep, they offer a VIP "up sell." And yes, if you upgrade, I get some cash.
Whether you "upgrade" or stick with the freebies, I hope you'll check it out. To hear me and others share how we deal with depression, anxiety, and phobias, click through and register for the Virtual Depression, Anxiety & Phobia Summit.

Writing Help.
Whether you're a new writer, already published, or somewhere in between, chances are you're up against something I've already faced.

I wasn’t sure where to start. Your ideas provided a 'heads-up here’s where you need to go' path. The biggest challenges with new authors are the deep-dive editing surprise, the author platform, and the publishing world. It was helpful to know what to expect.—Susan
