I have a one-word description after reading Women, We’re Only Old Once! by Bertha D. Cooper…Wowza!


Recently, Readers' favorite posted three reviews of Women, We're Only Old Once. All were 5 stars. Here is a peek:

by Tammy Ruggles

... This isn't a book to make you feel down, it's actually very uplifting and validating. Besides the positive side, Cooper also delves into the harder parts of getting older--rites of passage we all go through if we're fortunate enough to live that long, like losing loved ones, how to deal with changes in body and mind, and illness, as well as what to do about the practical things in life, like preparations, paperwork, and important decisions. Women can be a tremendous support system for one another. Women, We're Only Old Once by Bertha D. Cooper should be your go-to resource for yourself or a friend if you want to make the most out of aging and make peace with it.

Women, We're Only Old Once by Bertha D Cooper examines and offers solutions for different issues that women face during their old age. It does not avoid difficult topics including illnesses such as dementia or beauty concerns that women consider. It focuses on the facts in each section but its messages also remain encouraging. The discussions show that aging is a stage of life that can be navigated successfully and that can be fulfilling. I loved that its pages are dotted with numerous remarks, perspectives, and life stories from women from different cultural, religious, and professional backgrounds. Their contributions are insightful and enlightening. Cooper’s experience is also evident throughout the book. Women, We're Only Old Once is an important work that every woman, regardless of their age, will find useful. The book achieves its purpose of informing and encouraging the reader.

I have a one-word description after reading Women, We’re Only Old Once! by Bertha D. Cooper…Wowza! Bertha knows what she’s talking about here, being a woman in her 70's herself. As I read, I pictured Bertha sitting beside me, bestowing her wisdom, practical advice, and research. I felt she truly cared about me and my health, in body and mind. The day after I finished the book, I drove straight to the drugstore and purchased a B12 supplement. Bertha’s advice isn’t only on health issues, she also touches on sexuality, mental fitness, spirituality, losses, etc. Her words are memorable: “Embrace growing old,” “Aging is not a disease,” “It’s never too late!” Women, We’re Only Old Once! is one book every woman should have on her bookshelf.

In Memoriam: Carl Don Leaver

  1948-2021 It is with great sadness that MSI Press notes the death of Carl Leaver, CEO of the Press and typesetter and graphic designer par excellence . Many authors have expressed not only condolences but also a sense of legacy from covers he designed that they love.  Here is his obituary: On August 16, 2021, Carl Don Leaver of San Juan Bautista passed into eternal rest. A forester with the US Forest Service in Idaho and Montana, he turned to nature photography while working in the Bitterroot National Forest. His photographs graced national magazine covers and on a weekly basis the local paper of Hamilton, MT, the Ravalli Republican. He later worked on photography projects for the US Army (AFEES) and taught photography at the New York Institute of Technology in Amman, Jordan. His final career change led him to computer graphics and publishing as co-owner of MSI Press LLC; his many typeset books and book covers have helped MSI Press authors win a large number of awards over the years,

A Publisher's Conversation with Authors: Book Marketing vs Book Promotion

Image
It is Tuesday. Monday's madness is over, and Wednesday will take us over the hump, so Tuesday it is--for some serious discussion with authors. Tuesday talks mean to address authors in waiting and self-published authors who would like to go a more traditional route or who would at least like to take their steps with a publisher by their side.  Today's post looks at the difference between book marketing and book promotion, two terms that are frequently confused. Leading to the confusion is that some of the same activities are needed for both. In fact, good marketing is dependent upon good promotion. Perhaps the essential difference is that marketing focuses on sales, and promotion focuses on awareness --  noting that without awareness, sales generally do not happen. Book Marketing Book marketing includes promotion, sales, and increasing awareness of the availability of the book. It generally starts with a marketing plan that identifies the target audiences and selects marketing t
