Hello Michigan library people! Kent District Library (Kent County, west side of the state) is hosting a series this fall called Write Michigan Day of Learning. I'm not affiliated with KDL other than I'm doing TWO workshops for them so I thought I'd toot my own horn and advertise the workshops! On Saturday 9/12 at KDL's Plainfield branch, I'm presenting on "Telling Your Story: Introduction to Websites, Newsletters, and Blogs." Summary: Building your digital presence is scary and overwhelming. Do you need a website, newsletter, or blog? What type of provider should I use to host my website or blog? What kind of content should I post? These questions and more will be answered in this workshop. Event begins at 10 a.m. Info here: https://kdl.bibliocommons.com/v2/events/6a3ea03a48c98c3600a28882. On Saturday October 3 at KDL's East Grand Rapids brnach, I'm presenting on "Circulate! Getting Your Books into Bookstores and Libraries." Summary: Get the tools and knowledge you need to get your books on library shelves, give author readings or present talks. Learn from librarian and writer Lisa Rabey how to create relationships with bookstores and libraries and further your writing career. Event begins at 10 a.m. Info here: https://kdl.bibliocommons.com/v2/events/6a3ea08248c98c3600a28887 Hope to see you there! Lisa
