BARBARA BRABEC has been a homebased self-employed writer and publisher for most of her adult life. Her writing and publishing career, which began in 1971, has evolved through the years. Between 1980 and 2000, she gained recognition as one of North America's best-known home-business writers and speakers. During those years she wrote, edited, and published a subscription home-business news¬letter, self-published two books, and worked with trade publishers who wanted new books as well as revised editions of her earlier books. Two of her eight trade books-Creative Cash and Homemade Money-were decades-long best sellers and classics in their individual fields. She launched BarbaraBrabec.com in 2000. When widowed in 2005 after nearly 44 years of marriage, she reinvented herself on the Web to move in new directions as a book manuscript editor and author's consultant. The publication of THE DRUMMER DRIVES! in 2010 launched her as a memoirist and storyteller. She is now limiting editorial work to give her more time for writing and pub¬lishing her own books, but she remains active in critiquing book manuscripts and author-publisher book contracts. She particularly enjoys consulting with first-time authors to help them successfully self-publish a memoir or any other book dear to their heart. Her website offers many helpful articles for writers and independent book publishers. See less
