Hey Cheryl Amy, we've been following each other for some time. Have you ever considered coming to Greece (the roots of our Western Civilization that still holds the old values) to finally finish that book you have in you? Have 1:1s with an American publisher who can give you the hot tips and tricks? Last year, I met publisher Demi Stevens (Year of the Book). Have a look at her writers. yotbpress.com. It's the kind of publisher you and I like. Dedicated to authors with a soul. In May-June 2025 we organize a writing retreat in Greece, where I live now. It feeds my soul, this Greek life-spirit. The village is small and Demi and I are integrated into Greek philosophy life. I think it also would be inspiring for you. Feel welcome to join. The Mediterranean is superb place for inspiration. It's really authentic travel full of slow food here, authentic farms, mountain villages, monasteries, and amphitheaters. 2025 will be a year full of ALIVE again for me after years of illness. But my writing is alive and my connection to nature is healing me every day... Is it time to finally meet each other in real life? You can always reach out to me if you want to know more... https://yotbpress.com/2025retreat
