The
Shy Writer
Written
by C. Hope Clark
Reviewed
by Kathleen Ewing
How
do you feel about doing a book signing? No, how do you really
feel about it? Does the thought of a public appearance to promote
your work send you to the medicine cabinet for the Maalox™ bottle?
At a time
when people feel compelled to apologize for their perceived shortcomings,
C. Hope Clark’s new book, THE SHY WRITER, encourages the painfully
reserved among us to cherish our personal worth and to honor the
traits that set us apart from others.
THE SHY
WRITER not only offers us empowerment to seek our individual levels
of tolerance for publicity, but it also provides us the tools
to handle the job in a cool, professional manner, tools Clark
has honed through years of conflict with her own personal barrier
of bashfulness. She lines those tools out for us like shiny new
surgical instruments on a tray. We select only those pieces that
suit our unique style of operation.
If the mere
proposal of a promotional tour gives us motion sickness, THE SHY
WRITER reassures us by providing viable options--dozens of them--for
placing our names, products and careers before the public.
Our only
complaint about the book? It was too short.
