Why volunteer for a cancer that has such a dismal outcome? Bringing awareness being around people that you share something in common with helped her to heal having a voice helped her to feel empowered.

Stephannie was the Caregiver for her Grandmother in the non tradional sense. She would visit her, read to her, dance for her or just hold her hand and talk with her.

Stephannie’s favorite event is PurpleStride, this year she had a different role, she was able to speak with people attending and was able to share her story and hear their story. In talking to people they expressed they felt hope, felt love and gratiful to have so many people there fighting for a cure.

Stephannie feels volunteering with this group is rewarding in itself. Being a part of something that is giving back to people. The deep friendships you make with the people you volunteer with is rewarding.

“As long as you speak my name, I shall live forever.” Is dedicated to my dad, Bill Whitson “Gramps” who died on June 1, 1998 – 25 years ago.

Posted in book publishing, Business on May 19, 2023 by OC Talk Radio

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-akq4x-140de6f

We have always been firm believers in diversifying your content and creating as many revenue streams as you can with your book. In this episode, your hosts Dr. Jen Dorsey and Vanessa Campos dive in to the world of subsidiary rights — also known as getting your book translated and sold in other countries. Some key things to keep in mind as you listen to us geek out about the London Book Fair, foreign rights, subsidiary rights, and expanding your reach are:

Should you hire a foreign rights or subsidiary rights agent to represent your book?
What to consider when negotiate the terms of the foreign rights agreement?
How long can a publisher license your book?

Don’t overlook the importance of foreign rights sales, as they can bring in additional income and increase your book’s global reach. If you have more questions about this topic you can always reach out to the book broads via email: info@broadbookgroup.com or follow us on social media:
