Have you heard about the FREE and open-to-the-public Winter Park Library Book Festival happening Saturday, March 10, 2018, from 10:00 am until 4 pm? Mark your calendars!

This is a day for authors and readers to discuss all things book-related: writing, reading, and publishing books.

For instance, Keynote speakers Greg and Candy Dawson will talk from 10-11 a.m., and from 11 a.m. until 12 noon, Charlene Edge will join three other local authors–Linda Dunlap, Paul Butler, and Rik Feeney–for a discussion and Q&A session titled, “Publishing: Traditional, Self, or Electronic. Which is Write for You?”

For the complete schedule, visit the WPPL’s events calendar at http://www.wppl.org/events/day/2018-03-10.

Hope to see you there!

Hometown Reads – Start Where You Are

Hometown Reads banner

 

Attention, all Scribblers: Friend and author Terry Odell recently made me aware of a marvelous free marketing tool called Hometown Reads. Here is the link for Jacksonville, Florida. At a minimum, all JaxbyJax writers should have their books listed there. Orlando, you’re not listed yet, so I’m calling on ten Scribblers (the minimum to list a city) to sign up this weekend. Their motto? Start Where You Are. #ReadLocal
