We are currently dealing with a new concept at Forbes Literary Ltd.

If your child or a child you love is of a literary or artistic nature, we suggest that you "snare" as much of those writings and drawings as possible, date them on the back, and tuck them away.  Then - before an important event or rite of passage in their lives, let's create a book from all of these artistic endeavors!

Take, for instance, this poem and picture of my nephew, Jay.  He is twelve years old and has been writing poetry for some time now.  I have encouraged his parents (my brother and his wife) to collect these verses, and for Jay's 16th birthday (or his graduation from high school), we can publish all of his works as a celebration of his literary accomplishments to date.  This poem will, of course, be included...along with anything he writes in the future and photographs to match each season or year in which he completed a particular piece of writing.

What a marvelous gift and memory!  Parents spend hundreds of dollars on senior high school memorabilia that is marketed to them through a national company and this fine, but how about taking things up a notch with this sort of personalization of your child's writing through the years?

Forbes Literary Ltd. can help guide you through this process.  Please contact us for more information! 

Exciting things are happening at Forbes Literary Ltd.!  Cheryl was the "Featured Local Author" at the Checkered Cottage open house in Kirkwood, at the end of April, and she was present for their book signing event, both for the Coaster Cats Go to the Amusement Park and Obsessions from a Parallel Universe, her latest book of poetry.

In addition, she also had with her at the signing the prototype of a new book - to be published this Fall - of one of her clients:  An Armful of ABCs by artist and author Alissa Shoults.  All three books were extremely well received by customers.

Also, final photos are currently being taken for the upcoming book by Ward and Strelinger, The Alleys of St. Louis, with a target release date of early November, 2007...just in time for holiday giving.  Please take a moment and click here to read an excerpt of that book and to pre-order, if interested in doing so before the retail price is set:  you can save $5 per book!

The second in the series of The Coaster Cats books is currently in the works:  The Coaster Cats Ride the Train, and that book is targeted for a winter 2008 publication.  The saga of those crazy cats continues!  Be sure to watch for that release!

Teacher Tea Staff Developments continue to be scheduled for the upcoming school year at various venues throughout the metro area, and if your school is interested in finding out more about this opportunity, please contact Forbes Literary.

A new focus area for the company is that of home-schooled children.  The Coaster Cats series is a natural fit for that group, and the company is currently exploring all the possibilities that might entail.

Finally, Forbes Literary has selected a charity for its focus on the issue of literacy, and more information will be forthcoming regarding that premier event, currently scheduled for this September.
