		<description><![CDATA[However, occasionally I look up to the cathedral in the sky, where happy published writers hang out at tea parties, and I wonder if I will ever gain admission. To learn how to storm those gates, I recently attended an all day workshop on the subject. The event was  hosted at one of the region's premier writing events, the Philadelphia Stories "Push to Publish" conference, and the speaker was literary agent, Sheree Bykofsky, author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Published]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["Publish this Book" is Stephen Markley's first, which doesn't make him an expert on how to get published. Or does it? After all, he took a crazy concept and somehow managed to convince a publisher to print it and get it bookstores. That puts him considerably ahead of many aspiring authors who would love to follow in his footsteps.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[And finally, I imagine college kids themselves would appreciate it. After all, Markley recently emerged from those hallowed halls himself. If I was that age, I would be interested in knowing what to expect. I looked on Amazon to see what other readers thought. Several reviewers liked it as much as I did. The reviews were sort of "positive flames" ranting about how great the book is.

Remember that writing a memoir is a journey. You don't need to solve every obstacle before you start. Just solve the ones that stop you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After I finished, I noticed a similar book near the top of my reading pile, "Black, White, and Jewish," by Rebecca Walker. Previously, I might have rejected it on the premise that one memoir about mixed-race parents was enough. But now, I was eager to learn more.  "Black, White, and Jewish" turned out to be invigorating, another excellent read, and another window into one of my favorite topics, an individual's search for identity.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It takes skill and courage to write a memoir, and then like trees falling in the forest, our intimate stories thunder silently on the page, until someone reads them. Persuading others to read what we've written seems daunting and foreign, unrelated to the central project. And so when writers get together, in addition to discussing their craft, they also ponder the challenges of reaching readers.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Writing feels like a very private act, just between your thoughts and the paper, while publishing by definition exposes you, connects you, lets others in. But it turns out writing and publishing are more connected than they first appear. This entire system of words was developed by humans to communicate with each other. Paper is simply a clever repository, where words wait until it is time to fulfill their potential.]]></description>
