**Vickie Mullins started Mullins Creative, an award-winning graphic design company, in 1991. Her company exceled in print design, with a specialty in multi-page documents … books, magazines, tabloids, directories, and company brand development and execution.

In 2006 she and a partner started a publishing company, Perfect Bound Marketing + Press after authoring a series of eight books. From the lessons she learned through the school of hard knocks, today she guides authors through the steps of becoming independent publishers where they maintain control of their books and their financial destiny. An expert on Special Market Sales, Vickie says she doesn’t care if she ever sells another single book … instead, she’d rather sell her books by the 1,000s.

**Caren Cantrell is the owner of 102nd Place, LLC, a company that enables authors to bypass the uncertain and lengthy process of traditional publishing and get their books, and more importantly their message, to readers in a way that gives them ultimate control. She specializes in non-fiction and children’s books. Her services include everything from ghostwriting to editing to interior design and publication. Caren is an indie author herself, giving her unique knowledge of what makes an indie published book look like it came from a traditional publisher.

When Caren isn’t writing or helping others to get published, she travels around the country and overseas visiting her seven grandchildren. It’s one of the things she loves best about her job; she can work from anywhere and most often does!

**As a book shepherd, Ann Videan guides peers through the writing, editing, publishing and word-of-mouth marketing of both fiction and nonfiction titles. A professional writer since 1981, she opened her own award-winning home-based marketing firm, vIDEAn Unlimited, LLC, in 1996, which supports young writers and artists.

Ann showed up in this world with a pen in her hand, a song in her heart, and the desire to share with you. She adores creativity of all types, and especially the people who live it. She gathers friends like flowers, including authors, musicians, artists, and her husband and two grown-up children. The Colorado native lives in Mesa, Arizona, along with numerous invisible friends including snarky mythical creatures and magical story characters.

**Moderator: Patricia L. Brooks started Brooks Goldmann Publishing Company, LLC in 2005 with her author husband Earl L. Goldmann. As a publishing consultant, award-winning author of three memoirs, workshop facilitator and president/founder of Scottsdale Society of Women Writers she serves her fellow writers and authors in many ways.

Patricia ‘jump starts’ a writer’s manuscript by putting the team together necessary to make Independent Publishing an exciting journey. She helps potential authors through the maze of getting their book out to the world.   For more information see www.brooksgoldmannpublishing.com or contact her at patricia@plbrooks.com

SPEAKER:      January – Ann Videan speaker, author, marketing guru, songwriter www.videanunlimited.com

Do you have a writing dream, but can’t get past everyday reality? Need a jump-start to move you toward your goal? Ann Videan’s facilitated session can help you. With input from everyone in the room, we’ll ask what you need, and share ideas and support. Expect to walk away with at least one, but probably many, positive action items to help you take the next step with your writing. By listening, planning and taking action, you can find true fulfillment, just as the heroine does in Ann’s new novel Rhythms & Muse.

Ann Videan In addition to consulting for the last 15 years with visionary entrepreneurs about business-tribe development and word-of-mouth marketing, Ann Videan recently achieved her own life dreams of becoming an author and singer/songwriter. She just published her first book Rhythms & Muse with its accompanying CD of five original tunes inspired by the novel’s  “dreams come true” theme. You can learn more about Ann at www.videanunlimited.com

*There are changes to the menu and the cost of the meeting, and the way you pay for your meal at the meeting.  Please note all our changes below.

 

MENU:  Salad and dessert, beverage and roll or a sandwich and dessert, beverage and roll – both with tax and gratuity included = $22.00 – you will have a CHOICE the night of the meeting.

 

COST:  The $22.00 is the cost for members.  Guests will pay $25.00 and will again be able to visit two times before being asked to join us.  The additional $3 will go toward a charitable donation at the end of the year.

 

CHECKS:  Please make your check out to Scottsdale Society of Women Writers for the $22.00 as a member OR the $25.00 as a guest PRIOR to coming to the meeting to save time at the check-in table.  Thank you.

 

CHECK-IN:  Please check-in between 5:00 and 6:00 at the table at the door so we can start the meeting promptly at 6:00 as we always do.  At the check-in table you will: (1) leave your check made payable to Scottsdale Society of Women Writers, (2) have your name checked off the RSVP list, (3) pick up your name badge – your receipt for the food server to identify you as paid. 

 

AGENDA:  The agendas will be on the dinner table as before and the format will remain the same. 

 

ROOM:  We will meet in the Cactus Room which is on the fourth floor of Chaparral Suites just off the center elevator, immediately to the left of the 4th Floor Grille.  See directions below for this elevator and parking. You will be facing the 4th Floor Grille exiting this elevator. Do not enter the Grille, take an immediate left.  We are in the Cactus Room, a banquet room just a few yards away.

 

DIRECTIONS: Chaparral Suites is located in downtown Scottsdale at Chaparral Road and Scottsdale Road on the north/east corner and just north of Fashion Square Mall – Chaparral Road has a light.  Parking is in the rear – there are two large parking lots.  Best to enter from the middle elevator for the 4th Floor Grille; yes, we are on the 4th floor.

From the 101 freeway exit Chaparral Road and go west just prior to Scottsdale Road and enter the side drive right or north where it says 4th Floor Grille and come up that elevator – it is in the center of the hotel complex.  There is an awning marked 4th Floor Grille.  This is the easiest way in – not through the lobby.  The parking lots are in the back and side on the north end of the complex. 

 

THANK YOU
