Here’s an exerpt from the blog post by Margie Yee Webb ”FEMME Highlights the Power of Connections” on Women’s National Book Association – San Francisco Chapter’s blog  http://wnba-sfchapter.org/femme-highlights-the-power-connections/

Producer Margie Yee Webb, Director Emmanuel Itier, Producer & Spokeswoman Celeste Yarnall and Producer & Artist Nazim at FEMME screening in Southern California in 2012

“Through Facebook, I connected with fellow Cat Writers Association (CWA) member Celeste Yarnall that led me to be a producer for FEMME: Women Healing the World after she introduced me to director Emmanuel Itier. Sharon Stone is the executive producer for FEMME, a celebration of women around the world actively transforming and healing our global society. In the inspiring documentary, Sharon Stone and leading experts in religion, science, history, politics and entertainment, discuss solutions to the multiple crises we are faced with. FEMME focuses on utilizing a feminine approach with nurturing energy to inspire a new hope for the future.

“Although we initially connected through Facebook, I did have the pleasure of connecting face-to-face with Celeste Yarnall. In November 2012, in Venice, California, I met Celeste, her husband Nazim, who is also a producer, as well as director Emmanuel Itier at a screening of FEMME (the work-in-progress cut). I am honored to be a part of this award-winning film. On December 5, 2013, I will reunite with them for a screening of FEMME in Sacramento at the Crest Theatre. Anyone interested in attending the special screening, can reserve tickets here: https://www.tugg.com/go/fa2c8s.”

Via facebook, Ken Umbach of Umbach Consulting & Publishing says: “Very fine, energetic, inviting, participatory presentation today by Teresa LeYung-Ryan at the NCPA meeting today.”

Author Laurie Hoirup, author of  I Can Dance: My Life with a Disability,  says:  ”What I value most about Coach Teresa’s workshop was learning about ideas regarding nametags and creating my platform statements and ways to put it out there.”  Here’s my platform statement: “Through my book, I increase people’s awareness in regards to life with a significant disability.”

Coach Teresa here… Inviting everyone to subscribe to Laurie Hoirup‘s Blog. We all know someone who lives with a disability and can gain more inspiration; after you subscribe and receive announcements that Laurie has written a new blog post . . .  forward the new post to your friend or family member.  Anyone can subscribe.  Share.  Connect.  Thrive.

With this YouTube video . . . Coach Teresa LeYung-Ryan cheers for NCPA members and colleagues . . . says she is a big fan of author Frances H. Kakugawa.
“I am on a high from presenting ‘Build Your Writer’s Platform and Fanbase in 22 Days’ at the Northern California Publishers & Authors… such talented and successful folks. I love conducting interactive presentations – today the focus was ‘making connections and having fun.’ Thank you NCPA board, committees, and the entire membership.
Special thanks to my pal author & documentary film producer Margie Yee Webb (for taking great photos & movies at the workshop), Norma Jean Thornton, Ken Umbach, Secretary Tom Kando, Treasurer Laurie Hoirup, VP Dennis Potter, President Ted Witt (he was promoting his book and couldn’t be there… Cheers, Ted!), Kimberly A. Edwards and The Frances H. Kakugawa. Frances, did you know that I bragged about you on page 6 of my workbook? You are one of the authors whose books I do read again and again. Go, Wordsworth! Your being there today and leaving me that lovely glass vase with rose means the world to me. I thank you from my heart.”
All you talented NCPA members, broadcast your platform statements to the world!

Coach Teresa LeYung-Ryan and NCPA members role play – What happens when an author journeys through finding an agent, agent lands an acquisition editor. . . then that editor pitches author’s intellectual property to sales team who may or may not recommend publisher’s offering of a contract to the author. Marketing, you ask?  Publishers focus their attention on their best-selling authors and celebrity authors because those authors have huge fanbases.  Coach Teresa LeYung-Ryan says: “You CAN compete for attention when YOU know how to grow YOUR fanbase by articulating YOUR platform statement and training your fans to promote YOU. Reach out, not stress out!”

Sincerely,

Author and 22-Day Writing Coach Teresa LeYung-Ryan here . . .  to thank Adjunct Professor Sheryl Fairchild (Psychology of Women class at Sacramento City College, CA) for making my mother-daughter novel Love Made of Heart required reading.  I so look forward to seeing you and meeting your students on November 4th.  Author and documentary film producer Margie Yee Webb will join us.
