July 8 2008 - Writing in the Middle Years, for Fun or Profit

The National Association of Baby Boomer Women (NABBW) announces its July 2008 teleseminar series, "Writing in the Middle Years, for Fun or Profit." The two-part series begins July 8 and will offer boomer women insider secrets and keys to writing your book, branding yourself as an author and expert, the different publishing options available in today's markets, and strategies for attracting publicity for your book. According to NABBW founder and director, Dotsie Bregel, Baby Boomers are reinventing themselves with new lifestyles and careers, one of which is writing; whether for profit, or for the fun of it.

"Boomer women are looking for outlets. In some cases, writing and journaling, two very popular baby boomer trends, gives them a place to vent, record, and create. Memories are preserved, vital information kept in tact, and new adventures are taken. Even second careers for some baby boomer women are born. And all through pages and pages of words." said Bregel. "Today's boomer woman isn't afraid of stepping out and trying new things, and sometimes, midlife offers them the freedom to get in touch with their baby boomer values while exploring and developing their creative side. Like any new interest, today's boomer woman wants to be the best she can be, so asking questions and finding answers to develop her hobby or new found freedom in writing is just the ticket. They are looking for ways to enhance their skills, and want information on the latest trends and techniques for these outlets."

The NABBW teleseminar series is designed to give women up-to-date information on how to get started writing that book, and the diverse publishing options available to them. This teleseminar promises to dispel the rumor that, "it's a jungle out there." Marketing strategies and how to balance that busy professional, personal, and "writing" life, will also be shared.

This two-part teleseminar series continues on July 24, and is for the Boomer Woman who is interested in recording their thoughts and getting acquainted with who they are, what they want, and what they feel. Journaling styles and techniques will be discussed to help the boomer woman expand and clarify her inner life. Bregel believes that adding journaling to your life can empower boomer women and help them to identify themselves as a woman, mother, wife, healer, creator, and dreamer. "What could be better than discovering who you really are inside," says Bregel, "And at the same time, leaving a legacy for generations to come."

"Boomer women are serious about living full lives and they are looking for ways to express themselves like they've never done before. They are braver, more informed, and creative. If they want to know how to move forward with their creative self, they look to our association to help them learn how to do just that. That's why we're here; to educate, to encourage, and to lift the Boomer woman's spirit as she experiences what life has to offer her for the next fifty years."
