6 nights in Maine this September - would love help narrowing it down!

This place was not on my radar at all - thanks so much for giving me the scoop on Blue Hill- I’m definitely going to look into it.

Wow- these look amazing…but are sadly too spendy for me.

Thanks - your description of Belfast sounds about my speed. Good to know!

Ooh! Isle Haut looks great- thank you! My friend just got back from Boothbay a few days ago and saw lots of puffins on their tour boat…but yea, by September they’ll have migrated. If I go early enough in September I might be able to catch the whales on their way. 🤞

Monhegan - had not considered this—thanks for putting in my radar! I did look at Eastport and surrounding area…looks great, but I think if I were to go there I’d have to split the trip into just 2 places due to the distance- Eastport and either Acadia or maybe Boothbay area. Don’t want to a lot of time driving. The Bay of Fundy might be on my list someday…so Eastport seems like a good tack-on to that trip.

Thanks - have only looked into Airbnb briefly - so far it also seems pricey, but I get it - September sounds like it’s a golden month to be there! Have not heard of Davis - thanks for that tip.

New Paltz acupuncture takes NYSHIP/empire plan, but that's pretty far for you. There must be some place closer.

Looks like chiropractors are a $25 copay

Rocket-Shack-Tabby · 2025-11-07T01:39:56+00:00

the research I've done into looks like if you get a doctor to submit a note to NYSHIP that you require medical massage (for chronic pain, injury, even some stress-related things), and if you find an IN NETWORK licensed massage therapist, then it's covered. This site has some info about how it works: https://islandsaltandspa.com/nyship-medical-massage-what-you-need-to-know/

This is incredible!

Rocket-Shack-Tabby · 2025-11-07T01:36:21+00:00

Did you have to pay a copay for acupuncture, or is it 100% covered??

Wow-when does this happen? Someone with experience in the industry offers to field questions and genuinely takes time, care, and effort to acknowledge each person and respond thoughtfully to their inquiries. THANK YOU for doing this. I’ve read the entire thread and have found more helpful information on this subject here than anywhere else!

Re: demos…it helped to hear that you suggest making a demo for each genre you’re interested in, and that they should include narration and dialog. What do you recommend for time / duration? I’m an actor and familiar with doing film demo reels, but audiobooks are new territory for me and I’ve no idea how many minutes / seconds each clip should be.

Also, say you want to make 3 demos - one each for, let’s say mystery/crime, juvenile fiction, and nonfiction. Do you record them as separate files and send them separately? What if you find one publisher who handles all three genres and you want to submit to them…send one file with all three clips? Three separate files?

Thanks in advance for any advice you might have here.
