What a long, strange trip it’s been! It’s a cliche, but it’s never been more true than in this COVID-plagued world of ours. So many losses, so much suffering … we will find some kind of new normal, but the normal we once knew is never coming back.
Along with everyone else, Pilgrim Spirit Communications is moving ahead and looking for that new normal. Work here continued throughout the pandemic shutdown – one of the advantages of remote work – and the fruits of that work are beginning to appear.
In hindsight, perhaps one of the year’s least surprising developments was an increased interest in memoirs. Pandemic isolation seems to have sparked an interest in personal reflection and storytelling.
In November 2020, Pilgrim Spirit Communications published Speak Your Truth, by Emma Anne. This powerful firsthand account of one young woman’s struggle with mental illness is not to be missed. Pilgrim Spirit has also provided manuscript evaluation and editing services for several other memoirs in various stages of development. One of those memoirs will be published in the next few weeks; watch this space for the big announcement!
In other news, fans of Paul W. Martin’s Adepts and Demons series will be happy to learn that Book Four, The Mad God, is currently in editing and expected to publish by the end of the year. Time to start rereading Books One through Three!
What has this strange year been like for you? Maybe it’s time for you to tell your pandemic story!
