Join Norma Kimball Salway on April 19th at 10 a.m. at Norway Memorial Library for a very special Story Time! Norma will be reading her children's book, My Maine School Bus Driver.

Norma is a parent, grandparent, and graduate of the University of Southern Maine. She retired from teaching in 2009 after a long career of teaching children from four to seven years old. When she's not writing books, Norma loves to kayak, garden, antique, and craft. Her children and extended family bring her joy and happiness every day.

My Maine School Bus Driver follows a school bus driver on his route and helps students realize that bus drivers are people, too. It emphasizes the importance of responsibility in helping to keep the bus and its riders safe. Rick Charette, a songwriter and children's entertainer, said that the book "weaves a delightful story about a year in the life of a bus and its driver in a coastal town in the State of Maine. The book features playful illustrations by Norma Salway with an engaging storyline. I absolutely, positively enjoyed this book."
​
Come join Norma and the Norway Memorial Library for a fantastic Story Time and a chance to hear My Maine School Bus Driver!

I Can Hear the Music by Norma Kimball Salway

Norma Kimball Salway
Just Write Books is pleased to announce an upcoming book talk featuring author Norma Kimball Salway at the Windham Public Library on April 5 from 6-7 p.m.

Norma Salway will be discussing her book, I Can Hear the Music, which offers respite to those of us who are feeling overwhelmed with worry about our friends, family, and the world. In her book, Norma shares her own losses, and how she has been able to find solace in music. She encourages us to make time to listen to music, even when we are hurting, and to take the next step when we are nearly too weary to get out of bed.

I Can Hear the Music inspires readers to find comfort in knowing that someone just like them can come out on the other side of grief, and offers hope that we too can get through tough times.
​
We invite you to join us on April 5 at The Windham Public Library, 217 Windham Center Road, Windham, ME, to hear Norma discuss her book and her five previous books.

steps to publish your book - Written by AI

2/20/2023

Comments

 
Are you hearing about AI writing your stories, your articles, your social media. 

I tried it this morning.

First I asked Compose AI to Write a list of the steps to publishing a book.

The results:
Picture
1. Create a manuscript: Write the content of your book.

2. Find a literary agent: Research agents that represent books in your genre and make a list of potentials.

3. Submit a query letter: Compose a letter to the agents introducing yourself and your book.

4. Wait for a response: Agents may take several weeks or months to respond.

5. Revise your manuscript: If the agent requests changes, make the necessary edits.

6. Sign a contract: Once the agent finds a publisher, you’ll need to sign a contract outlining the terms of the agreement.

7. Begin the publishing process: This includes editing, designing a cover, formatting, and proofreading.

8. Promote your book: Once your book is released, you’ll need to promote it to reach potential readers.

​
Picture
My next experiement was to ask Compose AI to write a poem. 

I wrote, "Compose a poem about Maine Woods & Waters.  The result is below:
Maine Woods and Waters

The Maine woods and waters,
So beautiful and still,
Their rolling hills and rocky shores,
A sight for eyes to fill.

The pine trees and the birches,
The cool, clear streams that flow,
The ocean waves that crash ashore,
A sight to make us know.

The loons that call across the lake,
The eagles that soar on high,
The blue heron that stands so still,
A sight to make us sigh.

The ocean mist that lingers,
The sunlight that warms the shore,
The fragrant air that carries,
A sight to love forever more.
A little sappy but if a high school student wrote it we would not say it was awful. Compose AI wrote it in five seconds.  I see the concerns ahead for the human race.

For the outdoorsy dad that likes to forage, Wild Plants of Maine will prove an invaluable resource.

Coronavirus Heroes: Life During a Pandemic published by Bowdoin Students

4/30/2021

Comments

 
A group of Bowdoin students in the 2021 Health, Culture, and Society class took on an unusual project. In the course, they discussed how living through the COVID-19 pandemic has been a taxing experience for everyone. It has been particularly difficult for children. While children appear to be less vulnerable physically to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the feelings of uncertainty, a lack of normal social interactions, lack of structure in their days, and isolation from school friends and family outside of the home have certainly taken their toll. 

​To help children cope and feel less isolated, Bowdoin College students: Basmattie Dookie, Hikmah Okoya, Emma Hahsey, and Joanna Lin wrote a children’s book, Coronavirus Heroes: Life During a Pandemic. Lin and Okoya illustrated the story. The Bowdoin College McKeen Center provided a grant to print copies to be distributed to the two elementary schools in Brunswick.
Picture
Picture
Although the students wrote and illustrated the book, they didn’t know how to make it a published book. Joanne Rosenthal, the mentor to one of the students, suggested that they contact Nancy E Randolph with Just Write Books, a consultant and a publisher of Maine books by Maine authors telling Maine stories. Randolph agreed to donate her time and expertise to help the students publish Coronavirus Heroes. Working with the students via several Zoom sessions, the students added pages, modified artwork, and reformatted the book. The students even created a publishing house, Bear Bud Books, and purchased an ISBN to ensure that the book has life after their class ends. 

​Randolph said “I was happy to help these Bowdoin students. They were providing a great service to students, parents, and teachers. They gave dozens of copies to the two Brunswick elementary schools. It was also great to work with four very bright and engaged young people.”
Studies have shown that children that don’t understand why quarantine measures have to be taken, such as social distancing, mask-wearing, and remote learning, have more anxiety. To that end, it’s important to expose children to fact-based information tailored to them to help them more easily understand the pandemic and the quarantine measures in place. Coronavirus Heroes was written to provide facts in an easy-to-read story to help children understand why they need to stay home, social distance, wear a mask, and attend their classes from home. 

Reading the story will help children understand they are not alone and help them understand that caring for ourselves and others is a superpower each of us can use every day.

Welcome Spring with Wild Plants of Maine by tom seymour

4/1/2021

Comments

 
"A hint of spring to winter-weary souls is akin to a shipwreck survivor floating about in a raft and spotting a distant ship looming ever larger on the horizon. Prior to this, the shipwreck person thinks, 'I know I’m in a shipping lane, and help will eventually arrive.' But until that hope becomes a reality, it’s hard to stay cheerful." -Tom Seymour, Hidden World Revealed
Nearly everyone in Maine recognizes cattails as they appear in autumn, but Tom Seymour wants you to start enjoying them this spring. Take some knowledge on your foraging expeditions with Tom Seymour's Wild Plants of Maine: A Useful Guide Third Edition! Here's an excerpt from the pages of Wild Plants of Maine detailing how to find what it takes to dig up "the supermarket of swamps."

"Cattails vie with evening primrose for the title of first wild edible of springtime. In fact, a determined forager could, with some risk of hypothermia, harvest cattail products in midwinter, by cutting holes in the ice and pulling up the rootstalks. But such chilly and potentially risky endeavors are not recommended. So the prudent forager waits until early spring when dried, brown cattail leaves and stalks from last season protrude from newly thawed ponds and waterholes," Tom Seymour writes about spring cattails. ​

"​For me, harvesting cattail sprouts entails putting on hip boots and, with long-handled spade in hand, walking out in the shallow section of a nearby pond. There, I work the point of my spade under a cattail root clump and, with one hand prying on the handle, grasp the plant with the other hand and apply steady pressure until the muck releases its grip on my plant, something often accompanied by a loud, slurping sound. It’s a muddy, cold business but in late March [and early April], a very worthwhile one."

And that's not all you'll find in Tom Seymour's Wild Plants of Maine. You'll learn about dandelions and their lookalikes coltsfoot, blunt-leaved dock, jewelweed, and evening primrose. And that's just what you'll find outside right now, in early spring! In Tom's book, you'll learn about stag horn sumac, find out when to harvest the ostrich fiddleheads that make for such good eats, and read why lamb's quarters are one of Tom's favorite wild edible plants! 
​
So when you go foraging this year, don't forget your tools: your knife, your weeding tool, your scissors, your basket, and of course, your copy of Wild Plants of Maine: A Useful Guide by Tom Seymour.

Coltsfoot, the earliest harbinger of Spring, is commonly mistaken for dandelions.
"The coming spring is like that rescue ship on a distant horizon. We know it’s there, and headed our way. And all it took to realize this was one brief, fleeting vision." --Tom Seymour, Hidden World Revealed

New Release - Looking Back: New and Selected Poems by Diane H. Schetky

3/18/2021

Comments

 
Just Write Books is pleased to bring you the latest collection of poetry from the pen of poet Diane H. Schetky, Looking Back: New and Selected Poems.

A collection of new poems and selected favorites, Schetky's poems will take readers exploring far-off places, like the Arctic and Antarctica, contemplating subjects like the environment and climate change. Others muse on life, memory, and the inevitability of age, all in free verse. As she notes, ​“nature bestows daily gifts upon those whose eye and ears
are ready to receive them.”

Diane Schetky has channeled much of her feeling into a deeply personal work. Having lived for more than eighty years and struggling with early Alzheimer's, she feels concern over her losses, and has assembled some of her older poems to save memories of the past and reflect and share them with friends and readers. The result is an intimate look into her life through a flow of eclectic compositions, where old is followed by new, ending on a selection of poems focusing on finding serendipity in a changing world. ​

Diane H. Schetky
Here's some praise for Looking Back: 

​"Perceptive, poignant, and lyrical, Diane Schetky’s wordplay combines the wisdom of aging, wonder at the natural world, and sensitivity to a changing world. Reading her poems is an experiential process, inviting empathic “Looking Back.” or recognition of “Right Whales Wrong Climate”. Schetky’s verse captures the reader with eloquence and insight"
—Ellen Rothchild, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry Emerita, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine

"I love experiencing the world through Diane Schetky’s poetry. Her reverence for Mother Earth, her knowledge and love of music and the natural world are deftly braided throughout this collection. But, Unfolding is more than that. In this collection, perhaps her most personal yet, the poet also includes poems about significant people from her childhood, loss, a failing memory, and aging."
—Maggie Butler, MSW, Certified Amherst Writers & Artist Facilitator
Looking Back: New and Selected Poems by Diane Schetky is available to preorder now on jstwrite.com and Amazon!

Longfellow Days - Remembering H.R. Coursen

2/4/2021

Comments

 
​​February marks the start of the Longfellow Days in Brunswick! While in-person events are not being held this year, the Longfellow Days committee is still finding ways to celebrate the work of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow through this year’s theme of letters and letter writing. This year, we’d like to make our own contribution by remembering a man whose love of poetry inspired the Coursen readings that are normally a part of the annual Longfellow Days celebrations - Herbert Randolph Coursen.​
​A student of the University of Connecticut with a Ph.D in English, a teacher at Bowdoin College, Clemson University, Ohio University, and the University of Maine at Augusta, a fighter pilot during the 1950s and one of the original members of Maine Veterans for Peace, H.R. Coursen was a man of many talents. According to Nancy E Randolph, publisher with Just Write Books, wrote this in a front-page obituary for The Times Record, “Herbert Randolph (H.R.) Coursen- a talented, brilliant, witty and sometimes irascible man- was passionate about Shakespeare, poetry, sports, music and politics. They enlivened his conversation and defined his life.”

​​Robert Chute of Poland Springs, with whom H.R. Coursen shared numerous poetry readings, had this to say of his friend- “I knew Herb as a fellow U.S. Air Force veteran in Veterans for Peace — his war Korea, mine, World War II. I knew him as a fellow poet, exchanging, without offense or favor, suggestions, edits, corrections. He was an insightful scholar and a writer of astounding diversity. His life, as are all lives, was many things, but much of it was Literature, with a capital L.”
Picture

Picture
One of Herb’s particular talents was the recontextualization of works by writers of the past. He rewrote in modern verse the works of Ovid, Euripides, and Virgil, with works like The Iliad, The Aeneid and The Golden Fleece transformed by his pen. One that speaks to the strengths of his writing and his strengths as a person was Longfellow’s Evangeline: An Adaptation in Modern Verse. 

Initially resistant to the idea of a modern recontextualization of Longfellow’s Evangeline, he wrote in his introduction to the work, “I remembered the narrative as a sentimental story that explained why Longfellow’s longer poems had faded into obscurity. The poem might appeal to Victorian sensibility, but the skeptical and epigrammatic Emily Dickinson seemed much more appealing to current tastes- or at least to mine.” 
​However, when convinced by publisher Nancy E Randolph to give Evangeline another try, he described how his opinion pivoted. “But when I reread Evangeline, I realized that, while the sentimentality was there- a cloying idealization and conventional piety- the story also captured something of the 20th century, and beyond. It is a story of loss, and of searching for people trampled in the shuffle of tyrannies and their wars, of the disruption of cultures, of the shattering of expectations, of the punishment of those who have done no wrong.” Seeing Evangeline in this new light, he took to his modern retelling, and in many ways, both the work itself and the story behind how he came to write it encapsulates the man of Herbert Randolph Coursen himself. 
Picture
​Intelligent and witty, a man who hated computers and loved poetry, H.R. Coursen is remembered by his friends and loved ones as a passionate man of literary power, and by the town of Brunswick, Maine through the Coursen Readings held during the annual celebration of Longfellow Days. Thank you for taking the time to join us in remembering a talented writer, poet and educator and a profoundly one-of-a-kind individual.

New Release Out! Grandkids as Gurus: Lessons for Grownups

11/21/2020

Comments

 
Just in time for the holidays, Just Write Books reveals Grandkids as Gurus: Lessons for Grownups by Susan Lebel Young.

Grandkids as Gurus shows how children can be our greatest teachers. In this charming collection of stories, remembrances, and anecdotes, as well as a collection of artwork from the gurus themselves, Lebel shares the unexpected lessons learned from her own grandchildren, and shows that sometimes the youngest can teach us the most important things in life.

“I knew how to be a grandparent, I had four great ones, fine role models. Being grandma would be simple, like my certain truth that we succeed best when we cooperate,” Lebel writes. “Being one generation removed from worrying about memorizing times-tables and flashcard homework, about not-throwing food and table manners is bigger than giving them back to their parents.”
Picture
Here are a few things that have been said about Grandkids as Gurus: Lessons for Grownups.

“In chapters organized by themes like, ‘Beginner’s Mind,’ ‘Joy,’ and ‘Stop Adulting,’ she gives us vignettes of her experiences of being with her grandchildren and her ways of loving them that all grownups—grandparents or not—will understand.”
           —Patricia Dodd Hagge, meditation teacher, former Telling Room teacher and volunteer

“Children laugh on average 400 times a day,; adults 40. Becoming an adult does not mean giving up wonder, joy and curiosity. In this book of listening and observation, Susan Young relates glimmers of the original self of childhood which we all carry within us hidden beneath the self we built to cope with the adult world. Dive in and recall what will enrich your life.”
          —George Dreher, MD

Picture
“It takes a wise and attentive grandparent to move beyond delight in her grandchildren’s sayings to seeing their inherent wisdom, wisdom even for guiding adults. Sue Lebel Young is that singular grandparent, and the result of her careful listening and disarming insights is Grandkids as Gurus. It should prove thought-provoking for her readers of all ages.”
    —Peter Monro, former journalist & blogger at DesignForWalking.com


Grandkids as Gurus: Lessons for Grownups is available at jstwrite.com, Amazon.com, and you can visit the author’s website at susanlebelyoung.com for an autographed copy!

What our Customers say

Nancy E. Randolph, JWB owner, markets my titles on a wide scale. She also sets up book signings. I find it infinitely more enjoyable and rewarding to work with this Maine-based publisher than to deal with national publishers from out-of-state.
Finally, JWB does not publish just any aspiring author. Randolph is very selective, accepting only material that she is convinced will sell. I highly recommend JWB to any author.
