Sound the trumpets! The day has come: Writing Out Loud is here!
Well, the e-book is here.
If you’re an e-reader type of person, you can link here to download Writing Out Loud now on your Kindle, Nook, iPad or whatever contraption it is you use to read books. When my publisher/editor Nancy Sayre at Golden Alley Press gave me the good news late last night, she said even the “Look Inside” feature on the ebook is already working. “That means people can read the first nine chapters and really get a feel for it.”
I just checked, and JAWS (my speech synthesizer) can read everything on that “Look Inside” feature out loud, too, so if you have a visual impairment and use a screen reader, check it out. I’m also working with the Library of Congress Braille and Audio Recording Download (BARD) to get Writing Out Loud on their list of books to produce in Braille and audio, stay tuned on that.
Meantime, if you’re a print person and want to be notified as soon as the paperback is available, sign up for my newsletter here. And hey, I don’t judge. Read Writing Out Loud on an electronic device, in Braille or in print, I just hope this behind-the-scenes look at memoir writing leaves you loving (and learning from) the writers in my classes as much as I do.
Let the celebrations begin!
Congratulations, Beth! I am so happy for you and can’t wait to read your new book!!
Thanks, Nancy. I can’t wait to have you read it. Make sure to go all the way to the very last page, I’m not going to tell you how it ends….!
Congratulations!!!! Let the reading begin!! So happy for you!
Amen. Let the reading begin!
Great news, Beth! I just downloaded it on my Kindle and will also get a hard copy. Time to celebrate!! Are you already thinking about the next book? 🙂
Congratulations, Beth! Looking forward to reading it in paperback!!
Next book?
Actually, I was thinking more about bringing a bottle of nice wine over and sharing a glass with you on that fabulous balcony you’ve written about. You may just be the very first person to have downloaded Writing Out Loud, Sharon. Cheers!
Yes, it should be available very soon at Sandmeyer’s…
Congrats! I can’t wait to put it out on my coffee table….and then tell people I am friends with the author….my personal brush with greatness!
You are the bomb!
Ah, pat, you are sweet. But gee whiz, something tells me that your work at the Museum of Contemporary Art has introduced you to people more noteworthy thanBeth Finke. Not to mention your work at all those fancy department stores in your previous life!
Must admit I do appreciate your enthusiasm, thank you. I will see to it your hard copy gets a signature from the author. A paw print from her dog, too.
I expect to buy a copy at Sandmeyer’s and have it signed by the famous author. That’ll impress people when they visit my place. Oh, yea, and I plan to read it and be impressed myself.
Oh, you are too kind.
Sandmeyers, here I come!
You are one of two people I know as friend and teacher who has a fan club (the other is Beatrice Muchman)……By asking for my website in the above square, I can only declare a cobwebsite in my home.
Hope the cobwebsite is near the ceiling.
Mazel Tov, Beth.
Looking forward to reading it.
Hope you like what you read, Hank. Looking forward to celebrating its publication in person with you in a couple of weeks. Alexandria, here we come!
Congrats! I’m so excited for you.
Oh, Cam, you and the others in our writers group deserve a lot of credit for this. you’ll be next!
Hurrah!
