title: Enchanted Companions : Stories of Dolls in Our Lives
author: Carolyn Michael
description: I was so moved and inspired by the stories my men and women friends wrote for me, that I decided to self publish them so I could share them in each contributors' own words. I also had an artistic vision for the book, wanting it to reflect the beauty of the stories and the love and generosity with which they were given to me. I hadn't a clue about how to do that, so for the next seven years, as I gathered stories and photographs, I researched how an individual might put a book together. I read a lot of books about publishing, attended lectures and talked to people who know the business. My appreciation for every book I've read grew with each experience. With a lot of help - and I mean enormous, unwavering support and help - from some dear friends and my sister, I was finally able to present my friends and their families with a completed book. We had a grand celebration and several months later, had further cause to celebrate when "Enchanted Companions" won first place for nonfiction in the Writer's Digest National Self Published Book Awards contest.
