Topics addressed in the workshop will include writing a book proposal and query letter, submitting a manuscript to a publisher, creating a marketing plan, negotiating agreements and contracts, developing an ad campaign, taking advantage of subsidiary rights, and many other aspects of the publishing process.

To ease the pain of spinal stenosis, sciatica, and lumbar issues, Richard Kuiken received an epidural at a local hospital. He then selected The David F. Bolger Post-acute Care Unit (PACU) at Christian Health Care Center for his physical and occupational therapy. “I was in the PACU for about five weeks. The therapy was good, and the nursing staff was wonderful. My wife volunteers at Christian Health Care Center, and we know a lot of people who work there. Overall, I was impressed and pleased with the whole facility. It was good and clean and that is important to me. The dietitian was excellent. At the time I wasn’t eating very well. She evaluated me like I was her son. With the PACU’s therapy, I’m back to spending time as an amateur radio operator… I love speaking to people in foreign countries!” – Richard Kuiken ����������������������������������� Regain your lifestyle at the PACU.
