What topics MUS…
Ya'll may have already covered this, but would Asheville Arts Alliance be of any use? Or here is a very CREATIVE idea: what about a subscription funding like they used to do in the old days? That may be nuts but this forum is meant for that, right?

Could you share a little more information about what you are looking for?
Is this fiction or nonfiction?
Narrative or photo-oriented?
Are you looking for editorial guidance in terms of mentoring you on the direction of the book (i.e…

Also, is there a direct website that would allow me to take a closer look at Loving Ruby?
I was thinking of ordering this book for my 2 1/2 year old nephew in Oregon who LOVES to "read." Would Loving Ruby be too advanced with regards to basic subject comprehension for a boy his age? His parents obviously would read the story but I would…
