We’ll have a delicious lunch and a fun book drawing.
The After-lunch Session:
Self-publishing is how most writers will find their readers. With today’s technology, it’s almost free but still challenging. Bill Adams learned how to do it by publishing four successful novels and keeping notes during the process. In this session, you’ll learn how to get started and see the project through. Bring one sentence that answers the question, “What is your book about?”
Bill Adams, writing as William X. Adams, is the Presiding Chair of the Arizona Mystery Writers. He is a cognitive psychologist who left the classroom for the information technology industry. He now writes psychological science fiction and wide-ranging nonfiction from Tucson, Arizona.
