Boost your career by attending book expos and festivals
On Wednesday, April 4th, the Florida Writers Association Orlando Chapter hosts a presentation on the benefits of book expos and festivals by Rik Feeney and Tom Wallace.
When it comes to writing-oriented events, is there more to life than conferences? Absolutely! Rik Feeney and Tom Wallace will tell you how to reap the rewards of attending events such as Book Expo America and the Virginia Festival of the Book. What kinds of presentations and programs should you attend? Who will you meet? How much will it cost? What will you really get out of your attendance? How can you make the transition from attendee to presenter?
Rik Feeney is a publishing and marketing consultant, ghostwriter, workshop presenter, and the author of 28 books, including Back Handsprings: The Secret Techniques, released earlier this year. A former gymnastics coach in the US, Australia, and Bermuda, his numerous books on the sport have been used by athletes, coaches and parents. He is a frequent attendee of Book Expo America (BEA), sponsored by the American Booksellers Association. At last years Expo in Washington, DC, he was offered contracts by two publishers, and literally bumped into his new book agent.
Tom Wallace is a refugee of the corporate world and now a freelance writer and editor. His writing clients include PR and advertising firms, small businesses, entertainment companies, and private individuals. He has edited and rewritten book-length nonfiction, memoirs, academic materials, and novels in such genres as mystery, horror, chick lit, suspense, and mainstream. He recently attended the Virginia Festival of the Book, produced by the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities, where he represented his own interests and those of some of his clients.
Join us on Wednesday, April 4th, from 6:30 to 8:30 PM at the University Club of Winter Park, located at 841 Park Ave. North. That is on the corner of Park and Webster, just north of the heart of downtown Winter Park. Come to the side entrance where you will see the long ramp. The meeting is free and open to the public.For more information, contact Tom Wallace at tommyflorida@earthlink.net, or at 407-332-0122.

The Adventures in Christian Writing Group
Will meet on Saturday, April 21st at 9:30 a.m.
First Presbyterian Church, Orlando, Florida
Edington Ministry Center, Room 310-B
We are delighted to tell you that the speaker for this month is
Joan McCain
Joan is an instructor at UCF, teaching seniors about advertising
and public relations writing.
She frequently conducts this program across the country.
This is a hands-on program where she will
introduce us to six steps for good, clear writing.
Each attendee to the meeting will be given a workbook
to use during the program and to take with them as a reference.
The writing assignment for this month is to write about
a place you would like to visit.
It can be real place or an imaginary place,
a place that you have visited or a place you would like to visit.
We encourage you to take the challenge
but come whether you have a story or not.
May the blessings of Easter and the promise it brings fill you with joy.
Come and be blessed.
