I have traveled the country for many years holding educational conferences, seminars, keynote speeches, and presentations. And the one thing that remains constant is individuals inquiring about the publishing process.
I'm always ecstatic when I meet an aspiring author, because I know the passion that constantly saturates them. The messages that they look to convey through written text is many times given to them through personal experiences that they hope will benefit others. Poetry that enlightens or children's books that speaks on morality are two of the most popular genres that I'm approached about most often.
Well, I had the opportunity to share this 8 step process of publishing a book with an enthusiastic group of participants at Brentwood Lake. Many misconceptions were addressed, many questions were answered, but most of all, many walked out those doors INSPIRED to take the next step in penning their own work.
Enjoy the pictures!

Potter's House Christian Academy (Staff Development)
My visit to the Potter’s House Christian Academy was one that I will always remember. I was elated sharing the various methodologies of utilizing music and movement to increase academic capacity. But I was equally excited by the all of the best practice exercises constructed by the educators of PHCA. I left the Potter’s House saturated with numerous nonlinguistic lessons that would engage even the most reluctant reader.
I also thoroughly enjoyed interacting with each and every person at the workshop. I immediately felt a sense of ‘family’ as I conversed with each teacher. This aura that they emitted was appreciated for two reasons: the first was because of how comfortable they made me feel as a guest, and secondly because I know the students at the Potter’s House Christian Academy are surrounded by teachers who ‘truly’ care about them and their academic success. On top of all that was said, I enjoyed a lunch courtesy of the principal that can only be described as delectable, palatable, scrumptious, and delicious.
Thanks again, Potter’s House Christian Academy, for a wonderful day of learning!!
Enjoy the pictures from the Reading, Rappin’ & Having Fun workshop.
