It’s All In Your Head
Writing from the Heart While Writing for the Market
How can you fit what’s in your heart with what’s in your market? How can you better understand your audience and what they want? These questions and more will be answered by Laurie Alice Eakes, award winning Christian author who procured fifteen publishing contracts within fifteen months.
Award-winning Christian author Laurie Alice Eakes wanted to be a writer since knowing what one was. Her first book won the National Readers Choice Award in 2007, and her third book was a Carol Award finalist in 2010. Between December of 2008 and January of 2010, she sold thirteen books to Barbour Publishing, Avalon Books, and Baker/Revell, making her total sales fifteen. Recently, she added a novella to that collection, as well as having her first book with Baker/Revell, Lady in the Mist, picked up by Crossings Book Club, and three of her books chosen for large print editions by Thorndike Press. She has been a public speaker for as long as she can remember; thus, only suffers enough stage fright to keep her sharp. In 2002, while in graduate school for writing fiction, she began to teach fiction in person and online. She lives in Texas with her husband, two dogs, and too many cats even for her.

I would love to read the Jersey Brides book. Being from NJ I love to read books that take place in my state. I have had The Glassblower on my wish list for ages so that would be an added bonus. Thank you and God Bless!

I've tried to order the Glassblower, but it was no longer available; then Laurie told me it would be included in the "Jersey Brides" collection-- Thank you for the opportunity to win it! Pat Iacuzzi partwright2000(at)yahoo(dot)com

Hey Carrie, thanks for all your hard work in promoting Laurie Alice's new books. I hear the weekend's going well. That's great! I'm so happy for both of you and praying for the book signing later today.
ReplyDeleteDrum roll, and the winner is Jo. Congrats! Thank you all for leaving your comments. Thanks so much, Naomi for your kind words and for your prayers - much appreciated. Another chance to win coming up within the month, with a signed copy. Will be having a reader's review posted. Come by tomorrow, also, for Diana Flower's review of Marcia Gruver's new release. Blessings!
