In February we learned about some of Tucson’s notorious murders, and in April we’ll be focusing on another. Please join us in welcoming author (and repurposed journalist) A.J. Flick as she discusses her true-crime book “Toxic Rage,” which details the Tucson murder of a prominent eye doctor by a fellow eye doctor. In addition, she will discuss how to flesh out names you read in the news into full-fledged characters in a book.
We’ll have a delicious lunch, and a fun book drawing.
In our afternoon session, Lynn Wiese Sneyd, owner of LWS Literary Services, an agency specializing in book publicity, editing, and ghostwriting, will be talking to us about book promotion. It’s one thing to write a book, but a completely different endeavor to promote it. Sneyd will offer tips for creating a book marketing campaign that will get your masterpiece in front of readers. She will touch on key elements of book promotion including: when to begin marketing, how to direct readers to your website; how to get your book reviewed; how to schedule book events; and how to identify the best social media platforms for your book and you.
