Free ebook: Publishing with iBooks Author

I just read this post from Richard Byrne http://bit.ly/MKizhz about a free ebook titled Publishing with iBooks Author.  I've not had a chance to read it yet, but it looks helpful.  Follow his link to the oreilly.com website and set up an account.  After I created my account, I received a confirmation email.  I opened that email on my iPad because I wanted to download the ePub version on my iPad in iBooks.  The process was really slick, and within a matter of minutes the book was on my iBooks shelf, open, and ready for me to read.  I'm looking forward to checking out this tool!

Summer Writing

My goal for the summer is to write a book.  Actually, this has been my goal for several years and I've been journeying toward its realization.

Author Kate Messner is hosting a summer writing camp for teachers, Teachers Write!  I signed up thinking this will be a great way to focus on writing every day.  She has many authors and educators slated to offer encouragement and inspiration along the way.  Joanne Levy created a list on Twitter so that participants can connect with fellow Tweeters.  

I'm so looking forward to this summer of writing.  Check out Teachers Write! at Kate Messner's blog: http://www.katemessner.com/blog/
