Hello, Writer and Publisher Friends,

Welcome July, the month that seems to be dedicated to freedom, independence, and celebrations of country and culture! Canada Day (July 1), Independence Day (July 4), and Bastille Day (July 14) are only some of the many holidays that are celebrated this month. Enjoy BBQs and fireworks. The time of so-called “Beach Reading” is now in full swing. No matter if on a beach, a cottage, or during a cruise: Book lovers have often more time to indulge in books and to write reviews – or read to their kids.
