Interviews with Rec Therapists that put the “RT” in HEART
Thank you for your patience. This book project is wrapping up.
I’m still working on putting together this booklet: Interviews with RTs.
My deadline is to release the .pdf file before midnight May 31st, 2017.
Readers can point out errors and I’ll mail out printed copies to backers before end of June 2017.
The NEW 2017 Book Project
Rec Therapy for the Mind, Body, & Soul
Chicken Soup for the Soul has made it clear that they are not going to publish a book of stories about Recreational Therapy outcomes. I had started a petition, sent fun gift packs with messages, and our team sent over 5,000 postcards to Amy Newmark, the current owners of the Chicken Soup for the Soul brand from September 2016 until April 2017. In April 2017, we quit pestering Amy Newmark.
However, all is not lost. Maybe perhaps, a better publisher is suited for our book project.
I attended two trainings (Chicago 2016) and (Philadelphia April 2017) with Jack Canfield (a fellow West Virginian) who had originally co-created the Chicken Soup for the Soul book. He has been very encouraging. He told me to submit the book project to another publisher besides the current owners of Chicken Soup. Jack shared that he has submitted Chicken Soup for the Soul to 144 publishers before someone published it.
I am also going to Patty Aubry’s house in June 2017 for a one-day workshop/ retreat. She is the President of Jack Canfield’s company, author of several best-selling Chicken Soup books. She is amazing. I just love her.
