LVF book Spotlight: Monique and the Mango Rains, by Kris Holloway.
"I was moved and inspired by Monique. The friendship between the author, a young Peace Corps volunteer, and the Malian midwife is one of the great gifts of the book and proof of the power of women's relationships to recreate the world." " —Anita Diamant , author of international bestseller The Red Tent
About me: The Literary Ventures Fund is a first-of-its-kind, not-for-profit private foundation, serves as a “partner-in-risk” providing supplementary support to literary authors and publishers. It does so by offering them our foundation’s resources and publishing ties to bookstores, media outlets, and publicity assistance, as well as innovative marketing and sales programs, and direct cash investments, if warranted. LVF supports works to ensure that exceptional works of fiction, literary non-fiction, and poetry with a potential for wide readership reach the widest possible readership and remain in print for years to come. LVF also presents public programs that generate discussion about the broader literary landscape, the role of publishing in serving literary writers, and how more readers can become engaged with literature.
Who I'd like to meet: Booksellers, Librarians, Publishers, Book Clubs, and Authors.

Thank you so much for the add and for doing what you do!

Thanks for the add invite; always pleased to approve someone in the book biz. You & your other friends are invited to surf by my website -- my 4th novel "Acts of Kindness" is now available.
Wow, great organization! You're like literary fairy god-mothers. I look forward to learning more about your programs and books. And if you have any advice for a first time author struggling with book promotion, I'm all ears (odd image, that). Best wishes, Todd Mitchell
