Women
who had authored books (either self-published or through a traditional
publisher) and who were seeking ways to market them were really the impetus
for this website. We heard from so many asking "How can I market
my book?" that we decided we would step in and do what we could
to 'gather the women' into one spot so the energy and synergy created
in the process could draw more and more people together who are seeking
the best in woman-produced arts.
