Publishing 101: What Every Aspiring Author Needs to Know!

Have you ever dreamed of seeing your book on a shelf? With multiple paths to publication today, it's easier than ever to become a published author.

Join author Kristi Dosh for an inside look at the publishing process, from pitching agents and landing traditional book deals to successfully self-publishing your own work. She’ll break down how traditional publishing works, the differences between pitching fiction and nonfiction manuscripts, and how indie authors can take control of their own publishing, distribution, and marketing.

Drawing from her experience as both a nonfiction author and a contemporary romance novelist writing under the pen name Savannah Carlisle, Kristi offers practical guidance, honest insights, and real-world advice for aspiring authors at every stage.

Whether you’re just starting your first manuscript or polishing your latest draft and exploring your publishing options, this workshop will give you the clarity and confidence to choose the path that’s right for you.

Eight Septembers: a Woman on Wall Street From 9/11 to Lehman is a gripping memoir that captures the tumultuous landscape of Wall Street through the eyes of a woman who lived and breathed its intensity during some of its most challenging years.

Set amidst the turbulent days of Wall Street in the 2000’s, a young mother pursues her banking career at J.P. Morgan while managing personal and professional obstacles. Her story begins on the morning of 9/11 when she and her colleagues in downtown Manhattan survive the terrorist attacks and continue working to help stabilize the financial system—a matter of national security.

Through years of escalating banking crises and family responsibilities, her senior executive role catapults her into the center of the 2008 financial meltdown as she makes the final margin call on Lehman Brothers, triggering the Great Recession.

With unflinching honesty, vulnerability, and self-reflection, Buyers comes face to face with the contradictions in her life and tells a story of struggle, resilience, and growth that will resonate with readers from any generation.

Sometimes the biggest success stories aren’t found in boardrooms or bank accounts, but around a shared cup of coffee. Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber, RaeAnne Thayne, and Debbie Mason. (This is part of the Big Dune Island series but can be read as a standalone.)

Chloe Beckett has always believed in the magic of community. Raised on Big Dune Island, Chloe found her place in the kitchen of her grandmother’s coastal home, where neighbors became family and stories were passed down over cups of coffee.

Years later, Island Coffee isn’t just a café. It’s the heart of Main Street. Locals gather beneath its string lights, with mismatched china, sharing morning rituals and lifelong memories. After years of living in her famous brother's shadow, Chloe is stepping into the spotlight—competing on a reality TV show for a prize that could expand her café’s legacy to the next town over.

However, the competition is fierce with social media superstars and slick MBAs. Chloe knows exactly who she should ask for help—Michael Russo, a New York real estate investor whose world revolves around profits and projections. Her crush on him has gone unnoticed for years, and this is the perfect excuse to spend more time with him. But it's Chloe who begins to rewrite everything he thought he knew about success.

Will competing for her dreams finally help Chloe transform from the little sister who needed help into the woman who can stand on her own, both in the eyes of her family and Michael?

A story of second chances and beachy charm, Where We Belong is a celebration of community, connection, and the courage it takes to build something that truly matters.

Life is like a yo-yo for fourteen-year-old Bloom Howard. It has ups and downs, and it goes all around. With her parents' constant arguing, her little brother's illness, pressure to keep her grades up, and now a plagiarism accusation on a state writing test, Bloom's anxiety and depression rise and fall quicker than her beloved yo-yo. That's precisely when Bloom's life takes a turn. Through writing poetry, meeting an otherworldly muse, revisiting a friend from an ancient text, and connecting with writers both young and old, Bloom risks sharing her voice with the world. Along the way, she may just find that truth still exists, even in a world of deceit.

Fifty-six-year-old Neena Lee is desperate to revive her travel writing career, though panic attacks have disrupted her work, and the new upstart editor has fired everyone else over the age of forty.

Neena’s finally sent on assignment to the remote Georgia island where John F. Kennedy, Jr., and Carolyn Bessette were married. She’s shocked to find JFK, Jr. himself waiting for her there…though he’s been dead for twenty-five years. The last thing Neena needs is to start seeing things, but JFK, Jr. needs her help, and it seems Neena might need his help, too.

"Neena Lee is Seeing Things is a haunting story of a love lost and found, of the bonds of family, and of finding the grace we need to forgive ourselves. The book is set on the evocative Cumberland Island, Georgia where the late John F. Kennedy, Jr. was married and whose spectral presence plays an important role in the spiritually wounded Neena's awakening. The author displays a mastery in creating multi-dimensional characters (including the no longer breathing ones) who pull the reader into the story and lead us to its surprising and satisfactory conclusion. I highly recommend this book!"
