What happens when you write the book of your dreams, but it doesn't fit the niche market of a publisher or an agent? Is your only recourse to resign your dreams to a box in the attic?

Only in the Movies seemed destined to such a fate until a writer-friend opened the door to the world of self publishing. During the months since, Only in the Movies has evolved from a raw manuscript to a professionally edited and designed trade paperback.

An early decision to self publish rather than enlist a vanity or a subsidy press set me along a road bordered at every turn with pitfalls and joys. My presentation, “Sharing the Journey: The Path to Successful Self Publication,” lists and extrapolates on many of these challenges.

Only in the Movies is a story of love lost and redemption won—a tale to read at the beach on a sunny afternoon or by the fireplace on a wintry evening, a tale of spring awakening and the promise of Christmases to come.

I am available at no charge for presentations on self publication and/or signings at libraries, bookstores, specialty shops, and to book clubs and organizations within a three-hour radius of Bowling Green Ohio.

With all best wishes,

Jean Ann Geist
