Poetry Deal

Anyone that has written poetry in the last few years knows how difficult it is to get their work published.  Ireland is rich with high quality literary publications that specialise in poetry; both in print and online, however, it is not as satisfying as having a collection in print form.

Most poetry publishers in Ireland have seen their incomes reduced due to funding cuts by the Arts Council and local county/city councils. Those cuts are unlikely to be reversed in the next few years.  As a result, even established poets have struggled to get their work published.

We want to help poets publish their collections, enabling them to give and sell copies to their friends, families, local libraries, fellow poets, writers groups and ensure that their work is not lost or forgotten. Therefore we came up with a special package for poets and their collections.

Most poetry collections with the exception of anthologies are B size and 60-64 pages. More than enough for a poet to expand on their theme or show their best work. Based on that, we are offering the following

Cover Design

Formatting/Typesetting of the collection to B size

Printing and binding of two hundred softcover books with black and white pages.

ISBN and barcode registration so that the book can be sold in the major shops

All of the above for just €800, or €4 per book.

The books will be printed on Munken Bookwove and bound using our unique Ota-bind method. Hardbacks, more pages and colour pages cost extra but can be organised if the poet wants it.

Price excludes delivery and is for a limited time only.

Aisling Connolly – Enlightened Birth, From Womb To World

Enlightened Birth

 

Aisling does not know where her unquestionable belief in her birthing body arose from. This book is based on her own births and her experience as a Bio Energy therapist, working with the body’s energetic structure to positively influence the physical body.

When Aisling started writing this book, she started to thoroughly search for scientific and clinical backing to what she instinctively felt and knew, both as a mother and as a bio energy therapist; the importance of creating a nurturing womb for babies and experiencing a calm birth, free of trauma for both mother and baby.

Today more than ever, we fully realise just how important and influential womb life and birth experience is at shaping our babies future – both physically and emotionally. Enlightened Birth offers the amazing opportunity of becoming a conscious parent and giving your baby the ultimate head start in life.

The book and CD program will guide you lovingly through pregnancy and birth, empowering you with the following knowledge.

  • The essence of conscious parenting
  • How to create the optimum, health
  • How to bond with your baby in the womb
  • An in-depth understanding of how the birthing body works, making it clear just how possible and realistic it is to experience a calm, enlightened birth.
  • Powerful and effective breathing, relaxation and visualisation techniques which will support you through pregnancy, birth and the early weeks of motherhood.

The book and CD will be available for purchase soon on www.myenlightenedbirth.com
