Sybil Baker's new book, Talismans, is now available on Amazon.com
Book Title: Talismans
Author: Sybil Baker
ISBN:978-1-936196-03-6
Publisher: C&R Press

Elise understands her father--a Vietnam vet who abandoned her when she was an infant--about as much as does her church organist mother adn the rest of their suburban Virginian town. When even that thin thread of connection is suddenly severed, Elise is flun across the world, to Southeast Asia. Tracing the steps her father took through the war, Elise searches for a connection--with his ghost, with other travelers, with the foreign culture and environment she experiences. In a series of linked short stories, Talismans follows Elise's journey to learn what she must hold onto, and what she must leave behind.

Unicorn Writers’ Conference, April 9, 2011
Saint Clements Castle
Portland, Connecticut
Time: 8AM-7:30PM


Unicorn Writers’ Conference is uniquely designed to arm visionary writers with the practical know-how they need to get their manuscripts through – or around – the gatekeepers to the publishing world. In today’s world of multinational media corporations and global entertainment conglomerates, getting a publisher’s attention takes more than a great idea and a flair for the written word. Whether you like it or not, publishers view your manuscript as much a business proposition as a work of art. The Conference will offer dozens of workshops involving the inside world of book publishing from the perspectives of various departments within a publishing company— Contracts, Copyrights, Permissions, Legal, Subsidiary Rights, Foreign Rights, Audio, Electronic, Special Sales and Premium Sales, Marketing, Advertising, Promotion, Publicity, Sales, Royalties, Art and Design, Production, as well as Editorial workshops focusing on key genres: Fiction, Nonfiction, Memoir, Children’s Books, Mystery Writing, Screenwriting, and more. Plus, we’ll have agents, publishers, and editors at the event.  Carol Higgins Clark will be the guest speaker.
