🚀 🚀 🚀 Ready. Set. Launch day for CREATIVE RESILIENCE: Reclaiming Your Power as an Artist by Erica Ginsberg!

The roller coaster of the creative process can be both exhilarating and exhausting, but it’s a lot more manageable when you know you are not alone. Creative pursuits can bring a host of challenges for creators of motivation, confidence, blocks, and the realities of rejection. This book provides guidance for anyone navigating these challenges from those who have been there.

“It's hard to believe after 10 years of thinking about it and three years of actually writing and rewriting and rewriting it, my first book Creative Resilience has come out,” Erica shares.

The 5-star reviews are rolling in for Jean Pellen's memoir FEISTY:

🗣 “This wonderful gift, told with strength, conviction, and honesty gives a unique insight into one woman’s life journey. Well-written, easy-to-read, funny, heartfelt throughout, and, at times, deeply personal and moving. This book has it all. Fly high, Jean!”

🗣 “A book women of all ages should read. Peelen reflects on a time when women were expected to fit into a role without question or complaint. But the 1960s showed her that there was a different path, and she embraced it. Women of today still struggle to earn respect. Peelen has been around the block and back again, and every woman can benefit from her journey. Men could learn a thing or two also. Feisty is not your run-of-the-mill memoir; Feisty is a story of overcoming obstacles and achieving your dreams. I soared to new heights with Jean Peelen in Feisty!”

🗣 “Awesome book! Jean presents her life in short tidbits that keep you wanting more. Highlights the highs and the lows of a life set on pushing the limits. A life of learning, pushing forward, trying the new, and wanting the impossible. Well worth reading.”

Check out this Readers Favorite 5-star review of AN ACCIDENTAL PIRATE: The Possibly True Adventures of F***y Campbell by actor and author Brooks Almy:

“An Accidental Pirate is an absorbing adventure odyssey featuring swashbuckling pirates, fierce sea battles, and romance. Keeping a fast-paced narrative, author Brooks Almy weaves a captivating story about a young woman's quest to rescue her husband by changing her identity to become someone she was born to be. This is a damsel in distress tale with the traditional gender roles reversed. Apart from the action-packed plot, the characters keep you glued to the pages. F***y takes to life on the Bloody Rose like a duck to water, distinguishing herself through her actions and inspiring others to follow her lead. I had a wonderful time reading this book, and I highly recommend it to adventure lovers.”

Out now in paperback for Jewish Book Month: HINDSIGHT IS 2020: Torah Lessons from a Turbulent Time by Rabbi Margie Cella, a timely work that casual and serious readers alike will find inspirational.

In the field of biblical commentary, Hindsight offers both traditional and contemporary perspectives. Over the course of an entire year (March 2020 through March 2021), Rabbi Cella wrote a daily study of the Torah, adding one entry for each of the seven sections of every one of the 54-weekly portions.

Motivated by her desire to make Torah study accessible to all, Rabbi Cella writes in a personal and engaging style that is easily readable and will appeal to a wide readership. Her commentary presents a unique perspective reflective of the time in which it was written, drawing on the deeper meaning of the Torah to craft a response to both the Covid-19 pandemic and the political and social unrest of a difficult time whose lessons remain relevant today.

Creative pursuits — whether a paid profession, a side hustle, or a leisure activity — can bring joy and meaning to the lives of artists and audiences. But they also bring challenges of motivation, confidence, blocks, and the realities of rejection. Creative Resilience provides guidance for anyone navigating these challenges from those who have been there.

Erica’s new book includes relatable real-world examples from creatives across disciplines, ages, and stages of their careers, including dancers, musicians, writers, painters, and filmmakers interviewed specifically for Creative Resilience. The author cites her experiences as an artist and arts administrator — along with a mix of humor, linguistic reframing, and reflective exercises — to give readers tools to manage aspects of the creative process and life, including time management, dealing with creative blocks, procrastination, self-confidence, and other challenges.
