Marilyn Vix, ie Tiffany Turner, will be speaking on May 18th at 10:30am to the GSRW membership. This will be a virtual presentation.

I hope you are enjoying all this fabulous early summer weather. I was just out in the backyard, enjoying all the sunshine and mild, beautiful temperatures. The cat is out hunting lizards and something that is waggling in the ivy. Rest assured, if she catches anything, I rescue it in time to get it a safe distance from her. But all this abundance and good weather is such a nice omen after the last several years of craziness. Hopefully you’re getting back into your romance reading and writing routines. And I have something for you to possibly add to that.

I’m proud to announce I’ll be speaking at the May Meeting of GOLDEN STATE ROMANCE WRITERS on Saturday, May 11th at 10:30am to 12pm. I’ll be talking on how to get started in self-publishing. I’m excited to bring all the knowledge I’ve learned over the years. I am speaking under my other pen name, Tiffany Turner, in which I also have children’s books as an author. This will be a virtual presentation on Zoom.

It’s nice to just be me, talking to other writers, about all I’ve learned over the years. I have had a lot of people ask me over the years on how to get started. So during the 2020 pandemic lock-downs, I wrote a handbook called “Get Ready to Push the Button: A Beginner’s Guide to Self-Publishing”. After the many self-publishing panels, being a member of Kboards since the pioneer days of ebooks, and having created pen names and books of different genres, I had a lot to share. I’m glad to be getting the chance to present for everyone this Saturday.

I’m also the current president of the Golden State Romance Writers organization. It has a long history as a supportive organization for romance writers. Having started as a RWA chapter (Silicon Valley RWA), it now has moved onto an independent present. GSRW supports all writers in their author journey and reaching their writing goals. I quote the groups mission statement:

“We provide excellent programming and networking opportunities for our members, and strive to weave the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility into the fabric of our organization.”

The price for the meeting is free to members and $25 for non-members.

I look forward to presenting this Saturday. Thank you to GSRW for the opportunity to talk about all I’ve learned in self-publishing. I know it’s going to be a lot of fun.
