S2 Ep298: September 12, 2023, Ohio Writers' Guild | with Theresa Garee, author and Write Now Columbus

Theresa Garee started her writing in an honest attempt to help her youngest daughter feel more comfortable in her skin.  Her youngest daughter began to lose pigment of her skin in kindergarten, a condition known as vitiligo.  My Spots was a work of love with assistance from her daughters.After this experience, Theresa realized she had more to share, and she has published a children’s book every year since.  She is self-published and published by a small press.  In her writing experience, she learned one thing an author must do is learn to promote themselves.This realization led her to start Social-Ally and create the Ohio Author’s Book Fair.She attributes her ability to genuinely promote business owners/authors to her years selling advertising for her first love, newspapers.  The Columbus Messenger still employs her for a multitude of needs.  Never one to shy from getting her hands dirty, she shows up every other week to help mail their subscriptions. More about Theresa at:www.theresagaree.comwww.writenowcolumbus.comConnect with Kathy:https://linktr.ee/KathyBinnerConnect with Sandy:[email protected]
