Member of the typewriter generation. How I relate to that :-) Dear Linda, we follow each other for some time now and I love it how you combine the logos, pathos, and ethos in real Greek ways. Have you ever considered coming to Greece (the roots of our Western Civilization that still holds the old values) to finish a book? 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 and new horizons. You can always reach out to me if you want to know more... https://yotbpress.com/2025retreat
