I connected with this inspiring lady the other night on Twitter after seeing a tweet about #WomensLitCafe, which is “an extension of the The Women’s Nest.  It’s an online community that bridges the gap between writers and readers with the sole mission of promoting great literature.  The WoMen’s Literary Café is ‘Where readers and authors unite!’

Bridging the gap between the vast community of readers and authors, the WoMen’s Lit Cafe offers helpful promotions to authors, reviewers, bloggers, and editors by creating that bridge to bring readers, authors, and author services together under one umbrella in an easily navigable venue.”  

I was immediately intrigued because this is similar to my goals with my website/blog. I am always in support of women that make it their business to support other women who are making moves. She is a bestselling, award-winning author of three novels, Megan’s Way, Chasing Amanda, and Come Back to Me. She is also published in Indie Chicks: 25 Women 25 Personal Stories. She is even stepping into to film production withher book, Meghan’s Way. I am amazed at how she has time to write books, produce films, and yet, still dedicating time to support and encourage other women who do or trying to do what she does.

In the time that I have been in business, blogging, and riding the social media train, I have repeatedly seen an unsettling amount of cases where women are tearing each other down with snide comments or being so competitive to the point where they can’t find it in themselves to be supportive of one another. Now don’t get me wrong, in the world of business, thing are competitive and we ALL want to succeed, but it is extra refreshing to see someone like Melissa doing what she does. I am a believer that success follows those who want others to succeed.

I encourage any women who write or blog to join her community to support and be supported! I just joined today and will write updates on my experience on Women’s Literary Cafe.

“Enjoy each and every day. No one else will do it for you,” Melissa
