New Jersey Entrepreneur Transforms Women's Empowering Online Magazine Into 48-State Book Tour

Online, June 1, 2011 (Newswire.com) - New Jersey resident and entrepreneur, Susan Vernicek, 30, has launched a 48-state book tour entitled, "Identity Five Tour - A book tour with a TWIST!" Vernicek recently celebrated the publishing of her first Magbook, which is a compilation of articles from her online magazine, Identity (www.identitymagazine.net) that encourages women to strive for acceptance, appreciation, and achievement. The third and next stop on the book tour is at CURVES, 3 Stephenville Pkwy on Tuesday, June 7, 2011, 8:00-9:30 p.m.

"Identity's first online issue was in 2006, and was designed to empower women to Accept. Appreciate. Achieve. I didn't know what would happen. I took a risk and am so happy I did!" said Vernicek. "The Identity Magbook came about because readers asked me to take my website content and create a book - they wanted to be able to take something to the beach, on an airplane, or in the car. I also wanted a unique way to archive the first three years of the online magazine. I can't wait to bring Identity across the country!"

The "Identity Five Tour - A book tour with a TWIST" is a free girls' night out sponsored by CURVES and The Icing on the Cake. There will be drinks, cupcakes and other snacks, as well as give-a-ways. The Identity Magbook and Identity t-shirts will be available for purchase. The TWIST is that Vernicek will be engaging with her audience with the Identity Five.

"The Identity Five are five questions I developed to help women dig deep and self reflect," said Vernicek. "I use them, they are a feature in Identity's Scratch the Surface videos, and my goal is to have book tour attendees answer the Identity Five (participants don't have to share their answers). It's a great tool to learn more about yourself and grow as a person, which is part of Identity's mission."

CURVES in Edison, NJ is the third book tour stops. A schedule of all the tour stops can be found on Identity's website (www.identitymagazine.net) and Facebook page (www.facebook.com/identitymagazine) as book tour dates become available.
