Upcoming Local Authors Event
I'm learning a lot about technology this week! Dennis Kahl gave me a tutorial on shooting and uploading video to our blog and facebook page. You, too, can learn these skills if you come to our Local Authors' Event Sunday, September 23 from 1:00-3:00 p.m. Dennis will be there, streaming the event live for those who can't make it in person.
Other panelists who will be sharing their expertise on ways to market and promote yourself and your work include Connie Reimers-Hild and her husband Jim Hild. Here's a preview of Connie talking about the event.
Hope to see you there!

Plum Creek Children's Literacy Festival
See yesterday's post for information about our annual Local Authors' Event, which is coming up September 23 at 1:00 p.m.
That same weekend, September 20-22, is Concordia's Plum Creek Children's Literacy Festival. Every year, the Festival brings well-known authors and illustrators of children's books to Seward. I think our local kids have been spoiled by the opportunity to interact with "real" authors every year! I still remember the first time I met a published author--it was Nancy Carlson, and I was a teacher in the Lincoln Public Schools. Thanks to the Festival (and to Chapters, of course, since we've brought several authors to town over the last eight years, including Nancy Carlson), our kids don't have to wait till they're grown up to meet the creators of their favorite books.
This year's featured guests at the Festival are:
While Chapters is not a host of the Festival and not involved in book sales at the event, we do have books by the featured authors and illustrators at the store. Purchase your books at Chapters before September 19, and we'll have them signed for you while the authors are in town. We're grateful to Vikki and the Festival committee for making it possible for us to have books signed for our customers.
