On Saturday, October 22nd, Weaving Dreams Publishing will be conducting an authors' fair at the Schaumburg Township District Library-Central Branch located at 130 S. Roselle Road in Schaumburg, Illinois. Publisher, L. Sue Durkin, has asked me to speak during the 1:30 - 2:00 pm time period that day. Needless to say, I am very excited to have this opportunity. Now all I need, besides introducing myself and my upcoming first novel, is a subject to speak on for approximately 20 minutes.
I learned a lot at Killer Nashville about marketing on a budget, so I think this could be a start. Many of us have limited resources at the beginning--before those royalties start to flow. However, it is very important that we come out of the gate with a bang. From speaking with other published authors and attending workshops on the subject, authors can't just seclude themselves in a corner and write, write, write. They have to get out there and meet the people. So, yes...I believe that will be my subject. Although I know it's a subject that could be covered in a whole afternoon, I can at least create handouts with resources to help my fellow authors get started.
I hope if you are in the area, you will be able to stop by and meet the authors who are published by Weaving Dreams Publishing and its imprint True Grit Publishing. The fair will begin at noon and end at 4:00 pm. Hope to see you there!
