Knowing what you know now of writing, publishing, and putting your art out into the world, if you could go back to the day you sat down to start typing in your very first manuscript, what words would you offer to yourself? Words of encouragement? Words of advice? Caution against certain pitfalls? Would you change anything about how you got to where you are today?

The publishing community is so much bigger than it was before the self-publishing boom and it continues to grow exponentially every day. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come with a handbook or support group. The book is to provide words of encouragement or advice to those just starting out or those who have become discouraged in their art. At Pure Textuality PR, we believe in supporting each other as a community, and we felt this project would be a good way to bring writers together and maybe give some new artists just the right nudge to keep going.

100% of the net proceeds of #amwriting will go to benefit The Wayne Foundation, a charity dedicated to offering aid and services to young women victimized by illegal sexual exploitation and the sexual trafficking of minors.

This Valentine’s Day, Avon Impulse and Carina Press Give Away Up To

14,000 Romance eBooks!

New York, NY (February 12, 2016) – Avon Impulse and Carina Press spread the love this Valentine’s Day, gifting readers with a book bonanza: the two romance imprints will give away up to 14,000 free copies of eBooks (up to 7,000 per imprint, 1,000 copies per available title) over a four day period from February 12 – 15, 2016, as part of a special event powered by InstaFreebie. Books will be available on a first-come, first-served basis and the event will run until all 14,000 books are gone or until 11:59 p.m. ET on Feb 15, 2016, whichever comes first.

Erika Tsang, editorial director, Avon Books, is thrilled to get people reading some of the hottest up-and-coming authors in genre fiction. “These are authors and books we’re excited about, and we want to share that excitement with readers.”

“Having the opportunity to sample an author’s book without charge is an important part of the discovery process for readers,” adds Angela James, editorial director, Carina Press. “We’re pleased to be using InstaFreebie as a unique tool in connecting Carina Press’ authors with new readers.”

This joint promotion, the first of its kind between the two imprints, is being cross-promoted on the Carina and Avon websites, and via HarperCollins social media. Readers can peruse the full array of “instaFreebie” selections and download their free e-books at the links below. Those readers who are quick enough to make their choice before copies or time run out will have the opportunity to grab one free eBook per imprint. For Avon Impulse titles, readers will have to sign up for Avon’s “From the Heart” newsletter in order to receive their free eBook. For Carina Press titles, consumers can opt-in to receive newsletters, special offers and other promotional emails from Carina Press.
