Breaux is a

graduate of the University of New Orleans and has coordinated the First

Sweet Auburn Literary festival in Atlanta. She travels the country promoting

titles published by her company, Breaux Books, LLC, as well as others.

She is committed to helping others who are pursuing their dreams of the

written word. She stated that she had learned a great deal from costly

mistakes. Mistakes that were costly, not only monetarily but time consuming

and emotional as well.

Her presentation

included information on the various areas of writing and marketing your

works. She is well versed on editors and predators, having had a number

of experiences she will never forget. Breaux provided information about

wholesalers, distributors and which printers were the most reasonable

and at the same time did the best work. She also named a couple printers

to stay away from (one of those costly mistakes). One of them was already

known to most of the members of the groups but reinforcement of those

uglies is needed.

Breaux said

that you need a marketing plan and cited ways of saving money in the process.

When asked what advice she had to offer other writers she stated, "When

dealing with others, treat writing as a business and be aware because

the uglies are out there. Most of all, have a creative heart and have

fun."

The Fayette

Writers Group was very appreciative of Breaux's visit and for sharing

the valuable lessons she has learned. To engage Breaux to speak to your
