Author Events - What Do We Want?

Have you published a novel or memoir or non-fiction book?

Do you want to promote your book to the public? 

This article on NCWN blog is excellent concerning author presentations whether in book stores or other venues.

My favorite is the author talks where there is interchange between the writer and the audience, similar to what Deanna Klingel did at John Campbell folk school Thursday night.

Read the above article and go on to read the original post (follow the link at the end of the article) and tell us what you think?

What do you want when you go to hear and see an author? 

Read the call to action on NCWN blog

Because I care about funding for arts in North Carolina, I suggest that my NC readers go to this site: http://www.ncwriters.org/whitecross/

See how you can help. The NC Arts Council funds NCWN which funds NCWN West (Netwest). 

We need to urge our state senators to meet the budget proposed by the House.

All the information needed is on this site:

Thank you.

Hollywood found Ron Rash

Many of us here in the mountains are fans of Ron Rash, author of many best sellers, but his book, Serena, caught the eyes of Hollywood.
I read on the NCWN blog, Whitecross School, that the movie is being made in Asheville.
Here is the link.
