Deborah Hutchison to Sign Copies of Put It in Writing at Upcoming CALM Celebrity Authors' Luncheon in Santa Barbara

Dec 06 2010

Deborah Hutchison’s book, Put It in Writing! Creating Agreements Between Family and Friends, will be available for purchase and booksigning alongside works by fellow writers, Elizabeth Berg, Sandra Brown, Carol Leifer, and Jack Canfield at the 24th Annual Celebrity Authors’ Luncheon, benefiting CALM, Sunday, March 27, 2010 at Fess Parker’s DoubleTree Resort in Santa Barbara, California.

After losing a friend over a simple loan, Hutchison realized the need for an agreement that was designed for family and friends that wasn’t legalistic in form, but clarified the terms between the parties, satisfying the needs of all involved. Consider it a paper handshake, a printed promise or a published commitment—a perfect solution to a potential conflict over an emotional issue. Preserve relationships between your family and friends by considering an agreement of this kind.

Put It in Writing! Creating Agreements Between Family and Friends (Sterling Publishing/Barnes & Noble) has compiled agreements on such relevant subjects as:

  • Parent –Teen Driving
  • Roommates
  • Adult Children Moving Back Home
  • Borrowing or Loaning Money or Personal Possessions
  • Caring for Aging Parents
