Sherri Lewis' Blog

Hey everybody!!!

Just wanted to let you know about a booksigning coming up next weekend. Not only will you get to meet an awesome group of authors, but you'll have a chance to support a group of young boys in a book club called Boys Who Dare (Dare stands for Dream About Reading Everyday.)

On Friday, August 1st, in Atlanta, Georgia signing with Travis Hunter, Denene Milner, Nick Chiles, Sherri Lewis, Tia McCollors and DiShan Washington to raise money for a group of young men in a program called Boys Who Dare. This is a group of young boys (ages 6 - 16) who belong to a monthly book club, but who are now raising money to attend the inauguration in January! Barnes and Noble will be donating a percentage of every book sold to this cause. Imagine, we can change these young men's lives. Please come out, and support not only the authors, but these young men!:

The novel has already received acclaim through book clubs, reviews and author endorsements. It is also an Essence Magazine Bestseller.

2. Teaching you how to develop your writing craft from Rejection to Redirection during the ACFW-VIP Online Writing Conference

Those of you who register for the VIP Conference, earns a ticket in a raffle to receive a free 20 page critique from me. Wow!

I remember when I had my writing critiqued by Victoria Christopher Murray. I was so excited and so scared at the same time.

But you know what?

It was everything I had hoped it would be, and more. To have a published author--one whose books I so admire--read my writing emboldened me. My mustard seed faith blossomed into a published, bestselling author.

Can you believe that?

It can happen to you. Please join me this Saturday. If you're in Atlanta meet me at the Conversations Book Club. It's free. If you're not or can't leave home, then meet me online.

Get on the VIP List. Let's see where your faith will take you.

I would love the chance to chat with you.

God bless you,
Sherri
