PARTY ALERT! 🥳

We LOVE celebrating our clients' successes!

Kudos to Chef Jeffrey Schlissel who released his new book: Craveable Obsessed: Journals of a Food Addicted Chef last Friday!

Part self-help essay and part cookbook, this book is one-of-a-kind. If you've ever had a rocky relationship with food, you'll find out right away in the pages of this book that you're not alone.

Right now his book is ranked #40 in Self Help on Amazon, and we hope he keeps climbing all the way to #1.

We are SO happy for you, Jeffrey! 🎉

Restaurants and bars have been welcoming aspiring writers for centuries.

And one of my favorite tips for writers when the words just aren’t flowing is to get out of your everyday space and go find a quiet (or not so quiet) corner of a local café, a bar, or a restaurant.

Do a little people watching. Have a tasty beverage or a snack. Start writing about what you see.

Then, transition into whatever it is you wanted to write about before you started feeling stuck.

I found a couple of sunny corners in NYC at the Hotel Arlo and Rocco’s in Greenwich

When you’re not at your desk, where do YOU like to write?

How do you know a publishing course is going to be great? Even Max wants in! 🐶

I'm working on a brand new publishing course right now. After racking up years of experience with writing, printing, and publishing, I'm super excited to bring it all together in this new course.

Road trips mean new finds! During last week's trek through the Texas Hill Country I discovered a restaurant called Creek in Boerne, Texas. It's situated along Cibolo Creek. And it's one of those places that can make any lunch or dinner on any day extra special.

It's an upscale atmosphere, but I felt comfortable in my ball cap and tennis shoes. I had two exquisite fish tacos that came with a small bowl of what may be the best pintos I've ever eaten. If you're anywhere near Boerne, make it a point to stop and enjoy! BEtter yet, make it a point to get yourself to Boerne asap.

to my attentive server, Carlos, and Chef Josh!
