Jewel was a guest speaker for the Florida Writers Association in New Tampa/Wesley Chapel on Saturday December 03, 2016.  Jewel gave valuable information on publishing and how it is so important that an author start marketing early, even before beginning their writing.  It takes time to develop and establish a brand. Yes, authors need to brand themselves just like any business.

After the meeting a raffle was held where Evershine Press gave away books and prizes.  The winners were  Charlene Carlberg and Donna Eckstein.  They won a copy of Into Exile!!!  All of the other attendees were given a free one on one consultation to assist them with their branding and marketing. Congratulations enjoy!
