Our Mission Statement
Dear Reader,
Thank you for visiting the website and the blog that accompany Get Between the Covers: Leave a Legacy by Writing a Book. Neil and I are currently working on the final revisions of the book and we will be making copies available for sale on the website within the next month. In the coming months, we will be working with our many strategic partners, both individuals and corporations, to design in-person events around the country and ulimately the world to help drive a wave of new authors that has never been witnessed in the history of the publishing industry.
When we originally sat down and conceived the idea for this book in November of 2001, we both realized that there had been many books written that were generally meant to assist individuals as they attempted to write their own books. Many of these titles are very well written and are useful tools for writers. But, what we believe the market is truly lacking is a user-friendly and interesting book that not only helps people work through the writing and publishing of a book, including explaining the new and innovative publishing options, but also gives them the motivational push that they need at each step of the way. There are millions of everyday people, scattered all over the world, who have the knowledge, creativity, and the passion to write at least one book in their lifetime. While they may not consider themselves to be true "writers" like their favorite authors on the bookshelf, there is absolutely no reason why they shouldn't share the elements of their persona with a small market of friends and family (including future generations) or with thousands of readers everywhere.
The bottom line is that there is so much information that is being lost or opportunities to entertain the literate world that are being squandered because individuals don't take that step and attempt to write and publish their own book. With Get Between the Covers and the many programs that we plan to develop as a result of it, we will help you--no matter where you are starting from in the world of writing--to complete and publish your book, thus giving you an opportunity to leave your legacy, big or small, in a printed and bound form.
Feel free to send any questions along and we will do our best to answer them promptly. Once the site is up and running, be sure to check back frequently, as we will continually feature the most important sources and Internet resources for writers, a schedule of our appearances around the country, the latest information about the book, and we will post success stories of people just like you who have successfully written their own books.
Best regards,
Neil and Eric
