Summary

Dancing Elephants Press (DEP) is seeking assistance from its authors to get their books stocked in local bookstores by November 20th, aiming to have their titles available for the holiday season.

Abstract

Dancing Elephants Press is calling on its authors to help in an effort to place their books in physical bookstores. The process involves authors contacting decision-makers at bookstores, providing a list of DEP books with details such as price and description, and following up with personal introductions and phone calls. Authors are encouraged to add their own books to the list and report back on which bookstores they have approached and the outcomes. DEP has provided examples of how to present the book information, including titles like "The Joy of Life," "Holistic Journey Toward Wellness," and "Moments of Eternity." The initiative is part of DEP's broader goal to create a positive impact through collaborative writing and is supported by a team of editors. Authors are asked to complete this task by November 20th to ensure their books are available in stores during the holiday season.

Opinions

  • The DEP team believes in the power of collaboration, highlighting the diverse contributions of authors from around the world.
  • There is a sense of urgency and importance placed on having the books available in bookstores by the holiday season, indicating a strategic marketing approach.
  • The DEP Editor Team values the personal touch in business interactions, suggesting that authors introduce themselves and thank bookstore decision-makers for considering their books.
  • The inclusion of reviews and detailed descriptions of the books reflects a commitment to quality and a belief in the value of each book's content.
  • DEP's approach to tagging authors in their posts shows an understanding of the importance of community engagement and acknowledgment in the literary world.

Moments of Eternity (books2read.com)

Review: Dr. D. Aquila Maraglio — Lynn

Nature Connection Uniting Hearts in Love Moments of Eternity by Dancing Elephants Press Poetry Book Project is a heart-centered creation by 15 diverse

authors worldwide. The compilation of poetry is a delight to read daily to find joy, connection, compassion, and inspiration. The authors seamlessly meld together their creative literary talent, addressing identity and the question “Who am I?” throughout the book. A common theme is joy, compassion, and connection strongly

associated with the relationship with all of Nature, including spirituality, humans, and the self. Dr. Gabriella Kőrösi is one of the authors and editors, the owner of Dancing Elephants Press, and the Chief Collaborator in creating the poetry book project. Her Poetry starts the book in chapter one after the introduction chapter, beautifully detailing the collaborative effort to share inspiration, joy, and spirituality by Vidya Sury, leading to the title Moments of Eternity. Every author’s biography, creative interests, and contact information are expounded at the beginning of each chapter. The biographies and introduction capture the beautiful tapestry of poetic artistry and their interconnectedness and interdependency on a biospheric level.

The book is a beautiful addition to any daily practice, slowly reading a poem to digest and relate to throughout the day. For example, a line in Kőrösi’s poem, The Fire of Life, “I am the blooming flower of the forest. I am the tree of life,” captures the opening of the heart connecting and uniting with Nature. Further, the poem, The

World, details the soul blossoming to receive joy, “Flowering hearts bring moments of joy.” The lines of the poetry are a splendid opening of the heart. Moving into chapter two, the delight and connection to Nature continues.
