What are Pearlsong Conversations?
In January 2009 Pearlsong Press started hosting (mostly) monthly free teleconference
calls in which publisher Peggy Elam, Ph.D. chats with Pearlsong authors (and
possibly you!). If time and technology permit, participants/callers can join in the conversation. Each
teleconference is recorded and the recording made available for listening online or downloadng at the Pearlsong
Press website. Click here to go to the main Pearlsong Conversations
webpage—and join us in the next call!
