Janet Fitch - Featured Mega-Author of the Month - 02/09/06 03:07 AM

Hello Boomer Writers -

On March 7th at 10 am PST, Janet Fitch of "White Oleander" fame, an Oprah's Book Club pick is speaking in a rare phone conversation interview through the new Spirited Woman Circle.

The Circle runs from March 7th through October 10, and includes such mega-authors as Fannie Flagg "Fried Green Tomatoes," and Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey, "A Woman Of Independent Means."

I'm moderating the Circle.

As sister writers - I'd really appreciate your help.

The line-up of women is absolutely fantastic. But, I must spread the word so that other women writers and women interested in books know about this golden opportunity. Do you have any suggestions on what I might do - such as newsletters, pr sites, forums, etc.? I'd REALLY APPRECIATE this.

You can check out the Spirited Woman Circle at:
http://www.thespiritedwoman.com/spirited_woman_circle/

Sign-ups are coming in, but I would like to market this in a more robust way. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Nancy,
I tried to register for these teleseminars and could get the PayPal thing to work. Can you check on that for me and let me know? I don't want to miss this...for sure!

Nancy, nix-a on the request. It was a glitch in my giddy up...in other words, my computer. I would call it my OLD computer, but it's only two years old. Course in this day and age, THAT is obsolete...yes?

Anyway, I'm all set. Registering was a breeze!

Thanks, JJ

I can hardly wait to talk/listen to Janet. I want to know all about the idea for the book, the movie and it's relationship to the book, and what she's doing now. Wuhooo! Can't wait.

I just wanted to pop in and tell Nancy what a wonderful job she did on the first of her teleseminars with Janet Fitch of "White Oleander." I was amazed at how down to earth Janet is ... I mean this woman has kiss the skirt of Oprah, ya know? She took her time in answering all of our questions, and was such a lovely person to listen to! Go Janet! Devote fan for life here girlfriend...

I learned a great deal and it was refreshing not to hear the same old stuff. Don't you agree Dotsie?

Now I'm UP for the next one. Nancy, wonderful job girl. You got it going on!
