Spring Brings New Book Ideas

For the purposes of this blog post, I am going to try to ignore the obvious contradictions between the weather outside...

(too much snow - and don't get me started on the worries about flooding!)


...and the calendar...
(where did March go already?)

...and concentrate instead on the concept that It's Spring!

For us, Spring means a new start outside as well as inside - with a major focus on new books for the coming year.

In the past couple of weeks, we have met three or four new aspiring authors who have asked many questions about self-publishing their books through DriverWorks Ink. A couple of these would-be authors have already given us samples of their manuscripts and asked for our advice and possible assistance in turning their work into quality books that we think you will be interested in reading. And if I say so myself, the bits I've read so far look very promising!

We're taking a couple of those manuscripts with us this weekend as we travel to North Battleford, SK for our next trade show. So if there is a lull at the Agri-Mex show (this Thursday & Friday, April 4 & 5, Noon - 9 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m), or just enough traffic to keep Al busy and me otherwise occupied, you might see me engrossed in the words on my laptop.

Feel free to bring us your book ideas, too. The more, the merrier - for all of our readers!

We hope to see you in the Battlefords this weekend. Take care!
