Are you a lifelong learner? Continual learning is good for our brains! 🧠 Publishing with a hybrid publisher taught me a lot. ✍️Authors I know who have traditional publishers sacrifice control over how their book looks; 👀how they’re marketed & positioned; 🔖& they give up a lot of control over the content they create. For example, if a traditional author decides they want an audiobook, 🔊they can’t go off & create one on their own—It goes through the publisher. I spent months learning how to write a book. 💻I didn’t know there was a process. Each week, besides writing, fellow authors spent hours in live workshops & met with editors & coaches. 🗓️ It was harder than the math class 🧮 I was required to take last summer, which nearly killed me. In my weekly meeting with my editor, I told him NDP reminded me of the quote, “Give a man a fish, 🐟 & you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, 🎣& you feed him for a lifetime.” The authors in my cohort were empowered because we had the support to learn how to do everything. 👨‍🏫Our books perform better than the average first-time indie author. 📚NDP showed us how to avoid the mistakes inexperienced authors make. NDP taught us to publish like a second-time author. If you think you have a book in you, 📖maybe consider checking out New Degree Press (or something like it). The winter cohort has begun, ❄️but maybe it’s something to think about for spring. 🌱Authors are international 🌎🌍🌏, & workshops & meetings are scheduled across 19 time zones. It’s amazing. I’m not saying the experience was perfect, but it was perfect enough to get my book published & perform well! 👌 This post is what marketers call “UGC,” or user-generated content. UGC is powerful because it’s unpaid, authentic & trustworthy. If your friends share products or services because they like them, it’s likely UGC. (I learned that at Bellevue College!) Happy weekends to you all 💗& thank you again for your support! 🙏 . . .

"EBB AND FLOW"

by Craig Cundiff and Ari Glass

Celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2019, @ArtspaceUSA is now a network of more than 50 properties in more than 20 states, developing residential and work-space for artists and advocating for their needs. With more than 1,000 artists on the waiting list in Seattle alone, Artspace opened its third project in the city in 2014, on Rainier Ave adjacent to the Mt. Baker Light Rail Station. Originally from New Orleans, illustrator and fine artist Craig Cundiff moved to Seattle after Hurricane Katrina and South Seattle Emerald reports that his work "explores anatomy, space, and displacement." Rainier Valley native Ari Glass describes himself as a 'spiritual painter' and his work reflects the rich cultural diversity of the area. Now living alongside each other at Artspace the two have collaborated on multiple projects transforming the neighborhood, including this 2016 wall of the nearby auto parts store.  @craigcundiff/  @thesoufender/

Every morning, I drive by these two flags. Always gives me pause. The one on the left represents #SouthVietnam. My family's native country no longer exists. Alas, there she blows, high and mighty next to #OldGlory... #seattle #vietnameseamericans #vietnamwar #rainiervalley #southseattle (at Rainier Valley, Seattle, Washington)
