ePublish or Bust!My local libraries are teaming together to form something very cool...and I was lucky enough to get in on the ground floor with this program.
Recently, I was able to host free, open-to-public author events at Daviess County Public Library and Henderson County Public Library. Both events were loads of fun and a fantastic learning experience for all involved.
If you are a writer - published or not - make use of this website and the resources they offer. They have big plans in mind to help writers hone their craft, share their stories, and publicize their successes. If your library isn't a part of this new program, ask them to check it out!
