SUMMARY:Pavlicin-Fragnito Speaks at IBPA's Publishing University\, April 5-6\, 2019
DESCRIPTION:Karen Pavlicin-Fragnito\, publisher at Elva Resa and a current Independent Book Publishers Association national board member\, will speak on two panels at IBPA’s Publishing University. She’ll join other industry experts to discuss educational publishing and special sales markets. Both sessions are geared toward intermediate-experienced publishers. \nKaren will also participate in 1-on-1 Ask the Expert mentoring sessions on Saturday (preregistration required) and will host various gatherings throughout the event as an IBPA board member. She will represent Elva Resa\, along with senior editor Terri Barnes\, at the Benjamin Franklin Awards dinner\, where Elva Resa’s book Seasons of My Military Student is a finalist. \nThe premier educational event for independent publishers\, Pub U will be held Friday and Saturday\, April 5-6\, 2019\, with pre-conference sessions on Thursday\, April 4. All sessions will be held at the Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile\, 540 Michigan Avenue\, Chicago\, Illinois. \nThe Many Facets of Educational Publishing\nFriday\, April 5\, 3:15 PM – 4:15 PM Central \nEducation is one of the book industry’s leading market segments. K-12\, life-long learning products\, and community and corporate training materials are glimpses into the lucrative and fulfilling world of educational publishing. Richard Lena of Brattle Publishing\, Ian Lamont of i30 Media\, and Karen Pavlicin-Fragnito of Elva Resa Publishing have had significant experience publishing for different segments of this market and approach learning from their own unique perspectives. In this session\, they will share their strategies for entering various facets of the market\, instructional design and development practices for products and services\, and marketing and distribution outlets. They will also spend time answering your questions about this significant portion of the publishing industry. The session is intended for intermediate participants who are seeking to learn about educational publishing and considering expanding into an education segment. \nSelling Outside the Box: Why Special Sales Should Always Be In Your Plans\nSaturday\, April 6\, 1:15 PM – 2:15 PM Central \nPublishers typically focus on how to get their books into bookstores\, but some of the biggest selling titles have made their money outside of box–or big box—storefronts. From crowdfunding to niche vendors\, there are great ways to connect with new revenue streams\, have less competition for your products\, and stand out instead of being part of a crowd. \nWorking special sales channels can make a huge difference in a title’s success while helping to drive sales in more traditional outlets\, as well. Plus\, special sales are often nonreturnable\, reducing your risk. But how do you identify your niche special sales markets? This panel of experts will show you how they found money thinking outside the box. Panelists include Karen Pavlicin-Fragnito\, publisher at Elva Resa Publishing; Kelly Peterson\, director of client services at INscribe Digital\, a division of Independent Publishers Group; Richard Williams\, vice president of publisher development at Independent Publishers Group; and Gail Woodard\, president at Dudley Court Press. \nRegistration costs range from $35 for a small group breakfast to $395 for full conference member registration.

Samuel claims he has information that could help end the war\, and he asks Catherine to help him escape. Peace appeals to Catherine\, even if helping the man who broke her heart does not. But New France is starving\, and she and her loved ones may not survive another winter of conflict-induced famine. When the dangers of war arrive on her doorstep\, Catherine and Samuel flee by river toward the epicenter of the battle between England and France. She and Samuel may impact history\, but she fears the ultimate cost will be higher than she can bear. \nThe Mark of the King (Jocelyn’s Christy Award-winning novel)\nAfter being imprisoned and branded for the death of her client\, midwife Julianne Chevalier trades her life sentence for exile to the fledgling 1720s French colony of Louisiana\, where she hopes to be reunited with her brother\, serving there as a soldier. To make the journey\, though\, women must be married\, and Julianne is forced to wed a fellow convict. In New Orleans\, tragedy strikes\, and Julianne must find her way in this dangerous\, rugged land\, despite never being able to escape the king’s mark on her shoulder that brands her a criminal beyond redemption. \nABOUT JOCELYN\nJocelyn Green inspires faith and courage as the award-winning and bestselling author of numerous fiction and nonfiction books\, including The Mark of the King; Wedded to War; Stories Around the Table: Laughter\, Wisdom\, and Strength in Military Life\, which she coauthored with fellow military family writers; and The 5 Love Languages Military Edition\, which she coauthored with bestselling author Dr. Gary Chapman.

SUMMARY:Lightfoot on Military Spouse Panel at IAM Conference\, Oct. 15\, 2021
DESCRIPTION:Lizann Lightfoot\, author of Open When: Letters of Encouragement for Military Spouses\, will be a panelist speaker at the International Association of Movers (IAM) Conference in Orlando\, Florida\, on Friday\, Oct. 15\, 2021\, 10:30–11:30 AM Eastern. \nLizann’s panel is part of a new IAM military track\, where professional moving companies can learn more about the details and specific challenges of military moves. For the first time\, a panel of military spouses will speak to conference participants to improve communication between military families and moving companies. Lizann is one of three military spouses selected to speak on this panel. \nSession description:\nIAM Learning Lab: Military Spouse Perspectives on the DoD Moving Process \n\n\nJoin us for this special\, first-ever session where we feature a panel of military spouses to discuss the moving process from their perspectives. Hear what it’s like from their eyes; and how it might be different from what a non-DoD family experiences in their move. What makes for a successful move? What increases their stress during an already stressful time? Ask them questions and make sure you understand a military move from their side of the process. \n\n\nThe panel will be live for those attending in person\, and also streamed on the IAM website for those with a virtual registration.

SUMMARY:Veterans Experience Project Showcases Photos by JT Blatty\, November 11\, 2022\, New Orleans
DESCRIPTION:JT Blatty\, author of the forthcoming memoir Snapshots Sent Home (Elva Resa\, 2023)\, will read excerpts from her manuscript and talk about her photojournalist exhibit “Front Line\, Peace Life” during Bastion Community of Resilience’s Veterans Experience Project (VEP). Sponsored by Got Your Six\, a Bob Woodruff Foundation Initiative\, VEP takes place Friday\, November 11\, 2022\, 10 AM—6 PM Central\, at Gallier Hall\, 545 Saint Charles Ave\, New Orleans. \nThe hands-on event explores diverse military experiences through artistic expression and interactive exhibits\, including visual art\, the written and spoken word\, performances and curated discussion panels\, followed by a dialogue with the audience to provide further understanding into the servicemember experiences. A number of nationally renowned veterans will be presenting at VEP. \nJT will take the main stage at 1:30 PM. As a photojournalist\, JT’s work has been featured in many publications\, including Bloomberg\, Oxford American\, and The Daily Beast. She spent the past four years in Ukraine. “Front Line\, Peace Life” shares the stories of Ukrainian volunteer soldiers fighting to preserve their country’s democracy. \nBastion is an intentional community for returning warriors and families with life-altering injuries\, with a mission to provide a supportive living environment for injured veterans and families and a holistic approach to community integration. \nThe event is free and open to the public. For more information about Veterans Experience Project\, visit JoinBastion.org. \n*Photo with this event posting is a portrait titled Yulya “Valkyrie” Tolopa by JT Blatty. \nValkyrie crossed the Ukrainian border from Russia in 2014\, when she was 18\, inspired to understand the true events of the Maidan revolution versus reports from the Russian media. By June she was on a bus heading to the frontline to fight with the Ukrainians against the Russian invasion. She joined the Aydar Volunteer Battalion and helped liberate and defend towns in the Luhansk region until 2015. She served on the frontline in the Ukrainian Armed Forces as a Russian citizen until 2019\, protected by Ukraine from Russia’s request for extradition. She finally received Ukrainian citizenship in 2022\, after a six-year battle fighting Ukraine’s law requiring her to renounce her foreign citizenship on Russian territory\, where she is not safe and is wanted as a traitor.
