Tami Anastasia Comes Full Circle With Dementia Caregiving

Jun 22, 2022 10:00 am

Dear AlzAuthor,

This newsletter is full of resources to not only learn more about Alzheimer's and dementia but to demonstrate some of the opportunities AlzAuthors offers to help you promote your resource and raise awareness of these conditions. We recently participated in three live events, all recorded, and a podcast series. You can catch up on them here, meet some of our partners, and discover ways in which you too can connect with organizations to showcase your expertise as authors and caregivers. Please keep us posted on any events, podcasts, etc. you appear in. We love to share! If you enjoy research, we would love your assistance in helping us build directories for all our authors to use for potential promotional opportunities. This could be a collection of websites, blogs, or podcasts on Alzheimer's and dementia. If interested, please contact me at marianne@alzauthors.com. In the meantime, be sure to add yourself to these directories:

Audiobook Directory: if your book is available in audio

Author Directory: if interested in networking with other authors

Thank you. We love working with you.

Introducing our newest author, Tami Anastasia

Tami Anastasia, MA is a dementia consultant, educator, and speaker. She first encountered dementia when her grandmother was diagnosed with "senility" more than 40 years ago. She later became a dementia consultant and realized Grammy wasn't senile; she most likely had Alzheimer's disease.

She writes:

I wish I knew then what I know now so that I could have supported my dad.
