I need an accountability partner for my book

[Joanne]

If you don't know, it's on my approach to practical, effective, non punitive parenting. It is secular, though I am a Christian.

I need the partner to not be hostile to non punitive discipline and to *know* that it's not permissive.

I will need support and encouragement and kicks in the butt for:

1) Writing the book.

2) Getting a package together to "sell" a parenting author on the idea of writing my foreward. I already have an author in mind and have a contact person willing to present my book to her.

3) Using the above to also sell my book to an agent to assist me.

It would help me the most for the partner to be willing to also be part of the editing process for me.

If you have questions, feel free to post or PM me.
