A new website design !
There has been a lot going on with the Socci family in 2021. For the most part, probably 80% of our work has been dedicated writing, research, and fact-checking involved with Amanda’s debut narrative nonfiction book. However, we’ve also tried hard to get the website looking pretty. THAT has been a job in and of […]
Experimenting with E-newsletters
So this is something we had been struggling with for so long – e-newsletters. You would think it’s a straightforward thing, but it’s not. People who sell products or services or want to make announcements, like we do, have tons of choices when it comes to electronic newsletter mail programs.
Speaking with an important Contributor
Let me take you back to November 10, 2020. In case you missed my blog post from that day, here it is again. I wrote extensively about a person who told me they were going to be a contributor to my book, “Conflicted with Joy” and then pulled out at the last minute. We are […]

Father’s Day took place yesterday, on June 20, 2021. Yet, I feel like we should be celebrating all week. The father in the Socci family is my husband, Laurence Socci. Without my husband’s help, much of the work with Socci Books would not have been possible.

Amanda wrote a detailed blog post about this incredible experience and waited almost three months before publishing it. To this day, that juicy and beautiful blog post remains unpublished. The person with whom Amanda had this great conversation […]

New Acronyms and General Updates
Happy Christopher Columbus Day or Indigenous Peoples Day! However you choose to remember this special day in our nation’s history, we hope you are enjoying yourself and celebrating the unseasonable warmth of October before Halloween comes upon us.

When Inspiration Erupts, what do you do?
Are you familiar with the natural phenomenon of geysers? Geysers are springs of water that occasionally spout upward with a violent force, sometimes ejecting steam alongside. According to our good friends at Wikipedia, geysers appear in only a few places on earth.
Getting an audience for 4,000 words of personal reaction
Over the weekend, Amanda sat down and hashed through a first rough draft of her last day of visiting Joy of Motion dance studios. She had written down some notes of the route she took when she was driving to the studio and reviewed the photos from that trip. She knew it was something she […]
