The excitement is on, in full swing behind the scenes as we plan, discuss, explore ways to make the Dancing Elephants Press Book Project a big success.

Author bios

First of all, I want to tell you all how wonderful it is to read your bios. More than that, to see your lovely photos. It makes me feel a bit more connected to you! ❤ We have created an exclusive page to feature your bios.

If you are part of the book project and have not yet published your author bio, I urge you to do so soon.

To-do — Important Starting Point

We’ve received emails from almost everyone with their consent form. Just in case you have not done so, please get in touch by emailing us here: dancingelephantspress@gmail.com

For details, see Lady Dr. Gabriella Korosi’s post giving clear instructions about what to do.

Please visit Draft2Digital, the publishing platform we plan to use, and get familiar with it and sign up.

Email us/send your consent form if you haven’t already.

The first prompt — Positivity

After Lady Dr. Gabriella Korosi published the first prompt, we've begun to receive your beautiful responses and look forward to reading everyone’s posts.

The due date to submit your posts for this prompt is 3/8/2022. Please also e-mail a copy of your article to dancingelephantspress@gmail.com.

Of course, we’ll work with you to make changes if any to make them book-ready. The idea is to showcase your writing in the best light and create something you’ll feel proud of.

Also

We are thinking of having a monthly Zoom meeting to check-in. If you prefer another platform/way let us know in the comments. Either way, let us know what you think.

Doing the tag-blanket now just so all those who are part of the DEP book project see this post. I would be thrilled if you acknowledge via comments. Thank you!
