Leader/Facilitator: Herb Ford | hford@puc.edu

Summary of What the Group Does:
Writing a book is easy. All you have to do is put one word down after another. Then, somewhere along the way in the process, you’ve written your last word and your book manuscript is complete. Then comes the question: will the book editor of a publishing company buy my manuscript for publication?

Do you enjoy writing, or do you want to be a published author without the “pain” of writing? We’ll talk about that all-important question and many more.

In a get-together, perhaps once every two weeks, we’ll talk about all kinds of matters relating to writing, and, yes, also to publishing a book. And if you want to suffer the “pain,” we’ll try to lead you successfully through the process. But we need you to come regularly. Three consecutive misses from the sessions and you’re out. We’re looking to make you a successful book-writer, not a wannabee.

Herbert Ford, an emeritus professor of journalism at Pacific Union College, will host the sessions. He is the author of eleven books, one of them a best-seller published in five languages, and several thousands of magazine articles and news stories.
