Great day at the Ukrainian Cultural Fair on Londonderry, NH sponsored by Dobro New England and Ukrainian Cultural Center of New England. Skies opened up at 3 pm but these lucky readers scored special first editions before the deluge! OlegVeretskiy.com. #ukrainianauthor #fantasy #ukraine

I'm going to listen to that one again about four or five times!

Today from the IPNE Conference: New Word - "frienditor" There's a big difference between professional editing and having a friend look over your work. Friends are wonderful, but their service is better labeled as beta reading than editing. @ipne.org #booksky #author #editor #publishing #editing
