Evelyn's book launch
I made it to Evelyn's book launch at Lot 10 on Monday, and I reached there late, only at 8pm as I got the wrong info. Anyway it was an important day to her, launching her first book and she was bubbling in excitement. Just a couple of months ago she shared with me her intention of publishing her own book, but has no knowledge and experience what to do. I did warn her it would be a gruelling process, but she went through the process, and finally did it with help of a few friends. I am glad that she stuck to her plans and made her dream a reality, and it was a good one at that.
Her book has a pleasant and nice layout with beautiful graphics and pictures. Evelyn did the art direction for the book, which turned out very well.
nd the content is not just about image styling, there were also tongue in cheek elements, with a tinge of humor.
Explaining the concept of the book to me earlier, Evelyn said dressing for success applies in all areas of our lives whether it be for your job, traveling or romance. Her book is simple and refreshing as she talks about other things, like dating tips and how to marry a rich man amongst others.
Writing books is the in thing nowadays, and everybody seems to be doing it. Some take just couple of months to produce one. In fact i attended a seminar lately where the speaker taught us how to write a book in 30 days.
Its great to be able to produce something under your name as it carries your legacy to the future.
But not all books are created equal. They are written for different purpose and reason with different levels of passion and intensity, and produce an impact or none at all. It could be a PR exercise or something that came from your personal conviction.
It could be something significant or one which is soon forgotten. Whatever it is, I guess the author must be proud of the value he imparts to others through his brainchild and labor of love.
Congrats to her for the launch and good of you to help her out.
