    Looking forward to learning more about this great resource, as our budgets get smaller! :)

    I'm a children's book author (published by Putnam and Simon & Schuster) who has been offering Skype visits for the past two years. I Skype from my home office...and my backyard skateboard ramp!

    We're planning to start our Skype author visits next year. I look forward to hearing more about the possibilities. Thanks!

    Even though the topic is Skype, it looks like they will be using Elluminate for the session--they will provide a link, you just need a webcam and (either headphones with a mic or at least a microphone unless it is built in to your computer). It won't take more than 2-5 minutes to show everyone how to participate.

    Hi - Silly question, but I have never participated in the Skype An Author Network and am not sure how it works. Do I log onto Skype somehow through the Ning site (e.g., video or audio) or do I go directly to Skype or do I do something different?
