Writing Career Coach Teresa says: “Build your name, beat the game, be happily published.” http://WritingCoachTeresa.com
Teresa LeYung Ryan uses her novel Love Made of Heart to:
- celebrate immigrants
- inspire adult-children of mentally-ill parents to speak openly about the stigmas that their parents suffer
- help survivors of family violence find their own voices
What a fun party! California Writers Club-San Francisco Peninsula Branch members celebrated the holidays with 5 literary agents from the Bay Area. President Tory Hartmann and the planning committee provided a lovely environment, delicious Hors d’oeuvre, and delightful energy.
I saw one member whom I hadn’t seen in 5 or more years–Bob Davis. And Angela Berquist! She got one novel (An Unlikely Apprentice) and one non-fiction (The Grail Reclaimed: A New View of an Old Symbol) published!
Joyce Robins (Aunt Lydia’s Trousseau: 28 Stories of a Toronto Girlhood 1923-1938) is published!
Margaret Davis received her advance reading copy of her novel (Straight Down the Middle) from her publisher–so exciting!
I love to see friends happily published!
This is the writers’ club that launched my career in 1997.
Old and new members have a special place in my heart.
