My Publishing Dream

One of my dreams is to be published in a scrapbook magazine and a few of my friends have said the same thing. A few times I have submitted layouts only to be ignored and eventually I got discouraged and stopped trying. I decided to try something else and came up with an idea, why not do a magazine/book for people who have NEVER been published before? So that’s what I’m doing, a book dedicated to scrapbookers who have never been published before and you're invited to submit layouts/projects.

I found a place to do self publishing with very low minimums, but the only problem is that it has to be paid for upfront. We are going to take pre-orders to pay for the book plus a portion of the sales will go to charity. Pre-orders will also ensure that we print enough books for everyone who wants them. If you or your friends would like to have your layout included in this book, email by Dec 15 up to 3 layouts to: Kelly@memoriesinmotionscrapbooking.com. We will select the layout that we want to include in the book and request it for photographing. The book is going to cost $25 plus $10 for shipping (includes shipping your layout back with the book).

I am also going to have a special section for business listings for only $50 and you get a free book included in that price. There will also be a price for retailers who want to sell them. If this is something you would be interested in, pls let me know.

Thx and I look forward to hearing from you. I'd love to get 100 people in the book. This book is about being proud of what we do and I'd love for other scrapbookers to be able to showcase their talents too.
