Parisian Phoenix Publishing

And then I came home to find the check for my grant from the Pennsylvania Creative Entrepreneurship Accelerator Program. I will not be keeping a single dime from this money as it is earmarked for advertising.

My grant proposal suggested using half for Amazon ads to provide more national exposure for our books and the other half will be used locally to strengthen our regional brand recognition. I have reached out to several small businesses about opportunities to promote Parisian Phoenix and will be reaching out to some of those businesses to finalize details this week.

So, a huge thank you to Rising Tide, a local outreach program of the Community Action Committee of the Lehigh Valley, for recommending me to the Lehigh Valley Community Foundation who handles the funds here in the Lehigh Valley for this state fund. More on the fund here.
