April 12, 2014 Meeting

We’ve  recovered from the Tucson Festival of Books and  we’re ready to resume our monthly meetings. April will be an especially good one:

EmergencyMorning Speaker:

Take-downs, trauma and tragedies in the ER

If you’re writing crime, you’re going to have at least one hospital scene, right? How should it look? Get a clue, from our April speaker, Rhema Sayers, M.D., Ret. Dr. Sayers was an emergency Room doctor during the ‘80s and ‘90s, serving  in Douglas, Arizona, Lemoore Naval Air Station in California, and at Kino, Tucson General, The Heart Hospital, and El Dorado Hospital. During her Douglas years, she had  ER experience that, in her words, “just about killed me.” Dr. Sayers is an AMW member. There will be lots of time for questions. Get all the details you need.

Then enjoy delicious new choices on the lunch menu, time to socialize, book raffle, announcements.

Afternoon Workshop:

Panel Discussion:  How to Use Social Media to Sell Your Books

Gail Gibbs, Fiona Skye, Kelly Myers, Bill Adams

These four AMW members will share their experience with social media (good and bad), in selling books; show actual examples of how they use it (badly or well), describe how it works (or doesn’t), and recommend resources that you can use to develop your writing platform. Get yourself up to date with this informative workshop!
