Hi, I’m Nonnie Jules – President & Founder of RAVE REVIEWS BOOK CLUB {RRBC} and RAVE WRITERS – INT’L SOCIETY OF AUTHORS {RWISA}. As a writer who values the (polished) written word, it is my mission to help my fellow authors understand that their reputation as a writer should be treated as a rare treasure and that the only way to be taken seriously in this business, is to ensure that your writing (no matter the forum) is impeccably written and well-edited. If not, you’re just another “Joe” with a pen who was the first to raise his hand when Amazon asked: “Hey, any old Joe out there wanna publish a book? Don’t worry, it doesn’t have to be good and there’s absolutely no hard work involved.”
FYI: If you don’t care what you put out into the world, you’re just a laughing stock in the literary community … and your name is “Joe.”

Hello Nonnie, I did not need an email from Paula to know how much of your life you give to our wonderful club RRBC. However I appreciate that she took the time to write it and remind us all of your dedication to help and support all writers in RRBC.
Please know that you are so highly thought of by myself and all those who are well aware of how hard you work to benefit us all.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Best wishes Joy G.

Well, Wendy – new release is here (see above)! And, I didn’t find time to write – I wrote while I was sleeping 🙂 That was the only time I could do it. And, since I’ve heard that the book is so good, I’ll write and edit (everyone’s work) in my sleep from now on! That’s the only way we can ensure that I deliver the best, right?
Watch out world!
