TIP OF THE WEEK –
Phil Harris is an author, nationally syndicated columnist, and talk show host. His advice to writers: Let your inner self be your guide, think from the heart, never force your writing. Visualize and be passionate about your writing.
Don’t prepare yourself for rejection, this is a mindset. Have faith in what you write and know that people will love it. Keep a positive attitude. Read Phil’s blog at http://philipharris.blog.com

ALL THE WAY FROM JOHANNESBURG –

AUTHOR PROFILE –
Let me introduce a member of our global Independent Writing Community. Andy D. Kemp is an artist, sculptor, photographer, and writer living in Brittany France. He states on the links page of his website, “One of the hardest things for Independent Writers is getting themselves noticed.”
Andy’s current projects include a series of short stories for children titled “Wizbon Magic” to be released on CD, a poetry and picture book “Just A Little Rainbow,” and two other books “Bristol Fashion in Bombay,” and a fictional story titled “Dubois Door.” He also does illustration and graphics, commissioned artwork and photography for books, CD covers, for organizations and private clients.
When you visit Andy’s website you’ll notice a pleasant visual experience because he uses what is called BLV. The reduced screen glare which allows pictures to appear deeper in color and the written word is more readily absorbed. His website can be found at www.beauxreflets.com .
