And I think I forgot to write down the name of your cooperative Paper Lantern. Is that right?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LINDA ULLESEIT<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paper Lantern Writers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ANA BRAZIL<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lantern Writers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BETH BARANY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paper Lantern Writers, which when I met you all at the Bay Area Book Festival in downtown Berkeley, like a year or two ago, I think it was last year, and yeah, last year, I was really struck by how you&#8217;re all different historical fiction writers. Is that right? And you came together to be a collective to market your books.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I thought, how wonderful is that and how eclectic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, I would love to hear from, each of you, I would love to know about how and why you got started.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;ll call on each of you and you can introduce yourself. Also, tell us a little bit about you and how and why, for you, the Paper Lantern Collective got started.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And Edie, since you&#8217;re my point person and help me organize this, let&#8217;s start with you. Welcome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EDIE CAY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thank you. So I&#8217;m Edie Cay. I write historical romance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am fascinated by writing. I&#8217;ve always wanted to be a writer. I actually have an MFA in creative writing. I went through all the things. I worked on literary magazines. And when I decided to go to the historical romance route, part of the reason why I wanted to do it was because I wanted to be an indie self-publisher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I wanted to do my own. So I wanted to have control over my stories. I wanted control of my covers. I wanted control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I also had done my research and knew that in romance genre, it was easier, especially five years ago, it was a lot easier for the romance genre to do self-publishing than other genres.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I went that route and when I finally got my first book ready to go, I went to a Historical Novel Society chapter meeting a Northern California chapter meeting, and I&#8217;d been a member of the Historical Novel Society for many years and finally got around to showing up. And at that meeting was Ana and Linda who were proposing this idea of a marketing collective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I will let them tell the story cuz I showed up for the meeting and just raised my hand and said, I&#8217;m in. Whatever you&#8217;re doing, I&#8217;m in. That sounds great.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BETH BARANY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That sounds great. And can you tell us in a few sentences the historical romance that you write?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EDIE CAY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I write award-winning regency romances about women&#8217;s boxing, so my romances are of course very uplifting because a romance has to be a love story as a main component of the storyline and also a happily ever after. So I take a lot of my historical interests and then drape them over a framework of a romance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So my books, some people say, especially the parts from the blacksmith, reads a lot more like historical fiction. It just happens to be that there&#8217;s a romance in there too. Whereas some of my other books, like my newest release of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vicounts Vengeance<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is very much a love story with some other historical facts thrown in there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BETH BARANY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Including your main character who&#8217;s a boxer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EDIE CAY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, there is women boxing in some way or another in all four of my books.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BETH BARANY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fabulous. Love it. Thank you so much.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Linda, I&#8217;m gonna jump to you next.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you could tell us, a little bit about why you are one of the founding members this collective, and a little bit about what gave you the impetus to create this kind of group as opposed to, I don&#8217;t know, just occasionally networking with people to cross promote and that kind of thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LINDA ULLESEIT<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Okay, I&#8217;m Linda Ulleseit. I have been traditionally published with a small publisher. I have self-published books. And recently my most recent book and the books coming out in June have both been published by a hybrid publisher. So I&#8217;ve had a lot of experience with small different ways of publishing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I write heritage fiction, which is historical fiction based on my ancestors. Mostly stories that my grandmother told me when I was a little girl, that now I&#8217;m thinking about going, Hmm, these are really good stories. I need to get those stories out there. I find that my ancestors were very involved in suffragist movement in all kinds of things, meeting people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of my ancestors in my book that&#8217;s coming out had Zachary Taylor&#8217;s daughter as her maid of honor at her wedding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So those stories and connections are very cool to me, and I&#8217;m trying to write and make them cool to other people. So I&#8217;d been self-publishing my books and I went to a historical novel Society convention in Maryland.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was 2019, and I went to a session. Ana was in the same session. I went to a session about author marketing collectives because marketing is really hard. If you&#8217;re an author, nobody realizes, well, authors do, but when you&#8217;re writing a book, you don&#8217;t realize how much marketing is gonna fall to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I know I was guilty of that too. You publish it. The publisher takes care of it. You move on to your next book. But it&#8217;s not like that. And while writing a book is designed to be an individual endeavor, marketing is not. You have to reach out there and it is hard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So at this conference, the session talked about how working together could extend your reach, which is exactly what I needed to do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I went home to California, went to the next Northern California meeting where Edie happened to be attending, and said, we have to do this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And so I wanted to make sure that people who were interested were like, not going well, okay, that sounds like fun, but were interested in committing. So I said, come to my house on this date and we&#8217;ll plan it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, this is devious cuz my house is like the southernness southern end of the region served by Historical Novel society, Northern California. I&#8217;m like the south tip. Everybody else, I think Edie had to come two hours, Edie from your house to my three hours. So I figured if people are coming to my house&#8211; so there were people who were already thinking seriously about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And that, as I say, was history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BETH BARANY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Okay. That&#8217;s great. And that, as they say was history. That&#8217;s great.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ana! Pick up the baton. Tell us a little bit about who you are, what you write, and tell us about what was your impetus for joining the Paper Lanterns Collective, and what drew you to it?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ANA BRAZIL<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;m Ana Brazil, and I write historical crime fiction because I like to have justice for all. I have a master&#8217;s degree in history and worked as an architectural historian in Mississippi. So my first novel is set in New Orleans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And unlike Edie, and unlike Linda, I had a very, very small publisher in, I guess she was in San Mateo back then. It was a one person publishing house. And so my book came out a little bit before that H and S conference meeting in Baltimore. I&#8217;d already found out how difficult it was for me to market things by myself, for me to promote my book. My publisher had helped me get a very nice award, but it was still all on me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So when I went to that H and S meeting that talked about author collectives, I was just there with Linda and I was going, yeah, this is what we need to do. And we met and I did have one goal because I had not sold a lot of books then, and I was still hoping that I could get an agent for my next books because I thought those were so much better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And an agent would really wanna get those into a publishing house.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So one of my goals was really to sell my book so that when an agent said, well, how many of your first novel you&#8217;ve sold? I could say, oh, a thousand. I would have a good number. So I really did have that specific goal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But in a larger sense. Everything we were talking about creating a collective and doing creative things to promote it were things that I really liked to do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I was a project manager. I was a team lead of a group of writers at I B M. So I definitely liked the structure of people working together towards a common goal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And that just spoke to me as a writer, but it also spoke to my sense of who I was as a person, which is a project manager and a leader.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I saw a role for me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BETH BARANY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah. That totally makes sense. Great.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s so interesting. You&#8217;re all in different subsets of historical.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I was really struck by that when I first met everybody.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Honestly, I was like, how do you make this work?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because your readership &#8212; historical romance might only love that and not love historical crime fiction or those who read the heritage fiction, which I hadn&#8217;t heard that before. which is beautiful, might not like the others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you overcome that hurdle?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who would like to take that one up?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EDIE CAY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I would love to take that one if I could.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BETH BARANY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah. Please do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EDIE CAY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I believe as a reader, I like to read across the spectrum. I love to read science fiction. I love to read fantasy. I love to read biographies. I love heritage fiction, crime fiction. I love all of it. I wanna read everything. I mean, there are times when I get into one genre more than the other, but you know, I&#8217;m always drifting off to other other and I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m alone in that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So when we formed Paper Lantern, we wondered if historical fiction was gonna be a tight enough genre bond for all and we&#8217;ve had to experiment with do On our website, we have areas so we can say, oh, if you are a historical romance person, you know, here are a few offerings, our authors that you might If you are biographical fiction lover, then try these out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, that way we can cater to everybody, but also just show really, I think a lot people love historical fiction because you learn something at the same time as getting a It&#8217;s the edutainment, So, and I think that&#8217;s really what happens. and It&#8217;s so far been really great and I do think that our reach has expanded and other people have been able to see. And one thing that I, uh, as the romance writer in the group, for a while, I was the only one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I do think that it has really helped because romance, as a genre is often seen as being vapid or somehow lesser.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I think that being aligned with just historical fiction has actually helped raise awareness for other readers that, oh, there actually is meat to every one of these books.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BETH BARANY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s move into some of the nuts and bolts around what does it mean to actually be a collective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are some of the rules or guidelines or things that make you a collective? Do you have a working agreement?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you can share with our audience, how does that actually work?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who would like to take that question?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LINDA ULLESEIT<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I can take that one. We actually have a partnership contract now that we&#8217;re getting bigger. We have 15 members now. So I actually have a partnership agreement that outlines exactly what we do and what our responsibilities are. Basically informally when we first started, we basically just formalized our informal agreement, which was we&#8217;re going to market each other&#8217;s books.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we went along, we formalized that and we created a calendar so that each week on the calendar, we are responsible for posting about one other member&#8217;s book. So my particular book will show up at least once a week on somebody else&#8217;s social media, for example. We speak at conferences. We do a lot of things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any opportunity that comes along, we look at it and say, if this will be good for the group and we jump in and do it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We try to keep to historical fiction, back to where you&#8217;re talking about the sub-genres, because we find that most people who like historical fiction aren&#8217;t really limited to genre. They&#8217;re just so thrilled to find something that&#8217;s historical fiction that they just skim over the ones that don&#8217;t look interesting and gravitate toward the ones that are interesting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But in the meantime, they&#8217;ve seen all our books. That&#8217;s how it works for all of us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BETH BARANY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exposure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LINDA ULLESEIT<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah. Monthly meetings via Zoom and then we have an executive committee that takes all the ideas of the universe and whittles them down to what we wanna talk to at the general meeting, so that we keep that doable for everybody else without hours and hours of meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beth Barany<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah. That&#8217;s great.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It sounds like you have a leadership team and a general membership.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And are people paying money to be a part of your group? Is there a financial commitment?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LINDA ULLESEIT<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, there is. We pay a fee and that fee pretty much pays for our website, and the hosting streaming services and things like that, that we have to pay fees for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BETH BARANY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Great. And you were saying that every week each person is committing to share another person&#8217;s book.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And where might that be? A website, a social media channel, newsletter?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LINDA ULLESEIT<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On our Paper Lantern Writer&#8217;s website and social media, we share often.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s not as strict about sharing individual books, but once a week we share on our personal social media, we share somebody else&#8217;s books.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BETH BARANY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I see. That&#8217;s great. Wonderful. Yeah. Extending the reach. Absolutely. And exposure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LINDA ULLESEIT<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Extend the reach. It&#8217;s all about extending the reach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BETH BARANY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tell us the URL, the website for Paper Lanterns. How can people find you?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LINDA ULLESEIT<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paper Lantern Writers DOT com.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BETH BARANY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s great.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A little challenging to say, but totally easy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EDIE CAY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;d love to add that we blog three times a week now. so we have new content coming out from each of us, and they are a wide variety of different types of blogs. We have some that are very personal about writing and their writing spaces. We have ones that are very much about history today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Actually, I posted one about Mayday traditions in Regency England, which includes dressing up like a tree like you do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, there&#8217;s always something coming out, and it&#8217;s gonna catch somebody&#8217;s interest eventually.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also try to highlight other writers that are not Paper Lantern Writers as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once a month we have a writing interview that we do. I interview traditionally published authors as well on YouTube we once a month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So we have a lot of other things that keep us know, aware of what&#8217;s going on in publishing and historical fiction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ANA BRAZIL<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We like to know what&#8217;s going on, and we like to share that information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LINDA ULLESEIT<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We do have a monthly newsletter also that lets people know what&#8217;s going on with us, events that are coming up, new releases, things like that. People can join that. They go to a website, they can sign up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BETH BARANY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s great. That&#8217;s great. It seems like you have all the media bases covered. You mentioned YouTube. You&#8217;ve got a blog, people have social media, which I&#8217;m gonna make some assumptions or you could tell me, what are some of the social media channels that people are using to share each other&#8217;s books?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LINDA ULLESEIT<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have Instagram, Twitter, Facebook. We also have a Facebook group called Shine With Paper Lantern Writers. And the purpose is specifically is to connect readers and writers. So we have a lot of very active group of readers that get in there and really love to hear what&#8217;s going on with us. And then we like to hear what they&#8217;re reading, what they like to read.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BETH BARANY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oh, that&#8217;s wonderful. So I heard Facebook, the Facebook group where you&#8217;re really connecting with the readers. I could say our readers group, and then you mentioned Twitter and Instagram, and then YouTube.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ANA BRAZIL<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think we&#8217;re also getting back into Pinterest a little.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BETH BARANY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s wonderful. That&#8217;s great. I&#8217;m so glad to hear that you have your own newsletter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And are each of you individually doing newsletters where you reference back to Paper Lantern as well?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LINDA ULLESEIT<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I do not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EDIE CAY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I do. I have a monthly newsletter that goes out at the beginning of the month and I do my best to have not just my own information in there, but I also try to highlight a book that I&#8217;m reading that has nothing to do with Paper lantern Writers. But then I do always include like, Hey, I&#8217;m gonna be interviewing so-and-so this month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or remember last year when I interviewed Lisa C and she was just finishing up a manuscript and she was talking all about her research. And now that book is finally coming out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, I write my last newsletter, I&#8217;ve referenced that and, hey, remember when I interviewed Lisa C? Well now that book&#8217;s coming out, if you wanna revisit this and find out all about all of the research she did. So I do reference Paper Lantern Writers. as well as referencing other writers. And then I also have a portion at the end where I do just talk about some good books I&#8217;ve read, or TV that I&#8217;m enjoying. Water cooler things. In the old days when there were water coolers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BETH BARANY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah. Yeah. Great. And Linda, you were saying you don&#8217;t yet&#8211;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LINDA ULLESEIT<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No. I&#8217;m in charge of the Paper Lantern Writer&#8217;s newsletter, so that&#8217;s enough for me. I can&#8217;t do my own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So on my own website, I have a sign up for a Paper Lantern Writer&#8217;s newsletter, so then they can sign up for that. If they wanna hear from me, that&#8217;s where they&#8217;re gonna get it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BETH BARANY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good, good. I&#8217;m glad you have that organized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And how about you, Ana?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ANA BRAZIL<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have put my newsletter on hold and actually donate a lot of my email addresses to Paper Lantern Writers so that we could have a very substantial newspaper list. I think right now we mail out to about 2,700 readers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But once I get my trilogy done, I&#8217;m going to reactivate my newsletter and start sending it out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I will certainly talk about Paper Lantern Writers because everybody on that list has been getting the Paper Lantern Writer newsletter for the last year or so. So they know of my devotion to the group.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BETH BARANY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah. That&#8217;s so great. That&#8217;s so great.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s it for part one of this episode with the Paper Lantern Writers. Stay tuned for episode two coming next week where we go deeper into what this collective does to support each other and market their historical fiction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks for Playing!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thank you so much, everyone for listening to my podcast.
