give.away.day. featuring ELLA PUBLISHING

Is there an elephant in the room? Why, yes, today there is. And not just a large pink one that no one is discussing, no, this one happens to be small, blue, and the talk of the town. And here she is...

Ella Publishing is the brainchild of two of our very own collective members, Angie Lucas and Lain Ehmann. Ella is a source (the source?!) for professionally edited, photographed, and designed eBooks. Their books have all the same ingredients of a regular craft magazine or book, and, delightfully, are instantly accessible, and who doesn't love instant gratification??!!

Ella launched with three books:

Let's chat about them one by one.

40 Top Tricks
Rebecca Cooper is about as big as a minute and has sixteen lifetimes of talent crammed in her bitty frame. She is a darling mom, who takes amazing photos. Photos that seem to capture not only the person, but also their inner goodness. Her edits are smooth and natural. And we are all so lucky to be able to learn from her.

Text Tricks
Margaret Scarborough and Sara Winnick are the authors of text tricks. Margaret's style is pure and clean. She is a white space master whose pages draw you in from their marked simplicity. Sara is a font magician. The way that she uses plain fonts in an evocative manner is unmatched. I submit exhibit A as evidence of her fantastic talent.

Quick & Creative Quizzes

Wendy Smedley and Angie Lucas are responsible for this delightful book. Wendy's pages are heartfelt, and inspiring. Angie's are oft times filled with humor and deliciously written prose. Their friendship is evident in how they work as a team, and their book will stir up your juices so that you want nothing more than to clear your schedule and sit down to create (and finish!) some pages.

Yesterday, the newest book launched. Introducing,

This latest release comes from Renee Pearson, our first guest interviewee here at Write. Click. Scrapbook. At 5.99, you pay just 59.9 cents for each tutorial. How's that for some good bang for your (six) buck(s)?

If you are dying to see behind those covers, you can scoop up all four books for less than $25. (And I spent less than that on a bad dinner last week.) Or, keep reading...

Ella has more in store. A new eBook will launch each month. (Next up, Stacy Julian (woohoo!)and Lain Ehmann are co-authoring an eBook due out in October. The uber-talented Margie Romney-Aslett is their November author. And (drum roll...)the Write.Click.Scrapbook. collective has an eBook coming out in December!) Ella also has companion products (a camera bag booklet, printable quizzes, digital frames, and more)! Lastly, they release a free online magazine. If you want to keep up on what's new in Ellaland, you can sign up for their newsletter and visit their site for all elephant antics for the in between times. Be forewarned, ellapublishing.com can cause spontaneous snorting and laughter!
