Tomorrow's the Big Day!

Welcome to the JLB Creatives Publishing Blog. Tomorrow marks the event that we've been looking forward to...that being the Florida Authors and Publishers Association (FAPA) Spring Conference. 

FAPA brings to the plate an array of goodies in the literary world. At the Spring Conference, Social Media is the main focus. We are honored to have been chosen as a publishing company to participate. Our Media Director, Elise VanCise, will be speaking as our company representative.

In addition to their conferences, FAPA offers up one of the best contests around. Several categories are available to choose from, and you may enter your work in more than one category (entry fees required). Their Fall Conference serves up a nice array of topics for attendees, all of which are presented by industry professionals. The FAPA board members are always on hand to assist other FAPA members with their expertise in the industry. 

JLB Creatives Publishing is proud to be a member of FAPA. If you have not as of yet "introduced" yourself to the association here is a helpful link to get you started: Florida Authors and Publishers Association. Once you are on the website we invite you to surf around to get yourself acquainted.

If you have already registered for the FAPA Spring Conference being held in Orlando, Florida Saturday March 7, 2015, please be sure and stop by the JLBCP exhibit table between sessions and say hello to our CEO, Janet Beasley. She will be happy to answer your publishing questions, show you some of JLB Creatives Publishing's published authors' works, or talk to you about making a submission of your completed MS.

Time Flies When You're Having Fun!

Welcome to the JLB Creatives Publishing Blog. A great place to gather information, possibly discover something new and cool now and then, be inspired, and most of all have fun!

JLB Creatives Publishing Team is always having fun of some sort. Whether they are at their weekly team meeting, or out on the road attending and speaking at conventions, conferences, or events, this team of literary divas is continually looking for the next FUN thing. 

This year is going to be a year of incredible fun with new ideas coming your way from this ground breaking publishing company.

2014 was JLB Creatives Publishing's debut year, and the accomplishments of "fun-ness" abounded! In addition to taking aspiring, top notch authors through the publishing process, JLBCP became members of FAPA, UPPAA, and FPEA. They joined forces with other industry professionals to bring about unique ways to get the word out for their authors. Their one on one service with their authors throughout the publishing process became their signature service. The team members shared the fun speaking to school groups, 4-H clubs, and at conferences and conventions nationwide regarding several different aspects of the literary world. And their uncanny knack at putting together eye-catching presentations put them on the map nationally.

When it comes to their line of business JLBCP is all about quality, not quantity. The JLBCP team lives by the words, "We create literary masterpieces, we don't just print books." Authors around the globe are starting to pick up on this tag line, and are discovering they are being treated as authors should be before, during, and after the publishing process.

A brand new addition in 2015 for JLBCP is their Steampunk Line of cosplay guns, props, jewelry, etc. In the near future you'll be seeing a line of unique steampunk, diesel punk, and cyber punk products crafted by BeaslePunk. It's almost a crime to call BeaslePunk's imaginative work, props only. Many of their creations definitely fall into the art category, and are being considered for use as upscale decor in themed establishments. This creative team's work is amazing, and has stopped many in their tracks as they pass by the JLB Creatives Steampunk booth at festivals and events. Why not bookmark the JLBCP Steampunk Page now and keep checking as product is coming soon! And if you're a Steampunk author, you're welcome to make a submission from the JLB Creatives Publishing website at www.JLBCreatives.com  

And wait till you catch a glimpse of the next amazing literary project coming from JLBCP. It is being kept under wraps until its pre-release event hits the scene late spring/early summer. Give the JLBCP literary divas another couple of months and you're going to be blown away by their latest horizon-conquering, writing-wizardry idea that has been in the works since summer of 2014. This idea is so far out of the box, JLBCP decided to do away with the box completely and create with no boundaries. It's going to take some hefty pioneering and creative marketing to present this idea to the masses, but not to worry...the JLBCP divas are just the ones to serve as the "Davy Crocketts" to make it happen!

Event appearances and speaking engagements are already being scheduled for 2015, so be sure to stay tuned to the blog for the latest events where you'll find JLBCP's team. And of course the Pickford Community Library's Young Writer's Workshop is underway for the year, so you can expect to see this year's aspiring author's next anthology published late this spring.

Thanks for stopping by. And remember, time flies when you're having fun!

Jules Verne Feature: Submissions Are Open ~ Accepting in a Wide Range of Genres ~ Focusing on Steam/Diesle/and Cyber Punk January

Jules Verne
February 8, 1828 - March 24, 1905

Hey fans - today and tomorrow are the last two days we will be putting Steam/Diesel/and Cyber Punk submissions at the top of our list for consideration of publication. Be sure to visit JLB Creatives Publishing website to discover more about your possible future publishing team and company. We encourage you to read our Submission Guidelines to see if we are the right fit for you.

To close out our month of Steam/Diesel/and Cyber punk submission call, we thought it would be fun to celebrate the grand-daddy of them all. Being that Jules Verne's birthday is fast approaching, February 8, we wanted to celebrate by presenting a brief history of this truly talented and highly creative individual.

Jules Gabriel Verne was a French novelist, poet, and playwright best known for his adventure novels and his profound influence on the literary genre of science fiction. Born on February 8, 1828. He landed in the midst of a busy maritime port city, the city of Nantes, France, where he was exposed to schooners and ships departing and arriving. These fascinating vessels were the keys that sparked his imagination, leading him into the realm of entertaining the masses with fictional travel and adventure.

His most notable works include:

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea

Journey to the Center of the Earth

From the Earth to the Moon

Around the World in Eighty Days

The Mysterious Island

Five Weeks in a Balloon

Master of the World

Off on a Comet

His imagination has inspired many in the genre, and he has entertained thousands with his works of art. Several of his most popular novels can be found on the screen as well. 

------------------------

From Wikipedia:

Legend has it that in 1839, at the age of 11, Verne secretly procured a spot as cabin boy on the three-mast ship Coralie, with the intention of traveling to the Indies and bringing back a coral necklace for his cousin Caroline. The ship was due to set out for the Indies that evening, but stopped first at Paimboeuf, where Pierre Verne arrived just in time to catch his son and make him promise to travel "only in his imagination". It is now known that the legend is an exaggerated tale invented by Verne's first biographer, his niece Marguerite Allotte de la Füye, though it may have been inspired by a real incident.

In 1851, Verne met up with a fellow writer from Nantes, Pierre-Michel-François Chevalier (known as "Pitre-Chevalier"), the editor-in-chief of the magazine Musée des familles (The Family Museum).Pitre-Chevalier was looking for articles about geography, history, science, and technology, and was keen to make sure that the educational component would be made accessible to large popular audiences using a straightforward prose style or an engaging fictional story. Verne, with his delight in diligent research, especially in geography, was a natural for the job.Verne first offered him a short historical adventure story, "The First Ships of the Mexican Navy," written in the style of James Fenimore Cooper, whose novels had deeply influenced him. Pitre-Chevalier published it, and in the same year also accepted a second short story, "A Voyage in a Balloon." The latter story, with its combination of adventurous narrative, travel themes, and detailed historical research, would later be described by Verne as "the first indication of the line of novel that I was destined to follow."

Sassy Brassy

Today's featured item is a cosplay gun that holds the name Sassy Brassy. It is obvious how this little beauty got its name. Highlighted with buckles, chain, and gears this piece is sure to top off any outfit that fits the motif. Sassy Brassy is a uniquely designed adult "toy" that was designed to stop others in their tracks and ask, "Where did you get that sassy little brassy pistol?" BeaslePunk cosplay guns are not for children. Each BeaslePunk gun has been sanded down to remove any "unwanted" logos. Guns have been primered, painted, and accents added to the paint. Using a high end crafting glue, items have been strategically placed to give an authentic look. BeaslePunk cos-play guns are not crafted to be "fired," but rather worn and carried as specialty accessories to heavily accent cos-play attire. Each piece is hand-crafted and takes several days to imagine, paint, create, and journey to a finished product.
