Do You #ReadLocal?
As an author, workshop leader, President of Brad Kuhn & Associates, LLC and editor of the Scribbles e-newsletter, I get asked by authors on a daily basis for tips on how to more effectively market their books and their brands. There are lots of suggestions, but rarely do I have ones that are this easy, this effective, and this FREE.

Heart to Heart
Want to know more about novels in verse and the value of white space? Join Central Florida author Melody Dean Dimick at the University Club, 841 N Park Ave, Winter Park, FL 32789, on Wednesday, July 11 at 6:30 P.M. Melody will present her “Heart to Heart” talk for Rik Feeney’s Orlando Florida Writers Association (FWA) monthly meeting. She will read a few selected poems from her favorite novels in verse and her own FWA Royal Palm Award winning Backpack Blues: Inspire the Poet Within. Melody suggests writers consider writing a verse novel when characters and their emotions rather than plot are the drivers of their story. Attendees will learn: what a verse novel is and how to determine if writing in verse will work for them, the right questions to ask themselves in order to link poems into a complete story arc, and the value of white space to reach a target audience.
