PUBLICIZING THE MYSTERY NOVEL

Writers, publicize your book. At the Wednesday March 18, 2009, meeting of Sisters in Crime in downtown Scottsdale, writer-book publicist Lynn Wiese Sneyd will provide mystery authors with cost-effective tips on book publicity. Attendees will learn how to write a pitch that attracts the attention of producers, journalists and book reviewers, as well as how to assemble a media kit that speaks for the book. Lynn, the award winning author of several nonfiction works as well as numerous articles and poems, is a literary publicist with LWS Literary Services in Tucson, AZ. She conducts national, regional, and local publicity and marketing campaigns for authors. The Desert Sleuths Chapter meets at Café Carumba, located at 7303 E.

Friday Workshop

OK, folks, get out your pens & pencils!  It’s still hot out, but school’s back in session, and that means summer’s over – back to the grindstone!  Time to work!

Our next Writer’s Workshop will be:

Friday, September 5, Mustang Library, 9:00 – 11:00 AM.

The theme will be character development.

Character is what you have left when you’ve lost everything you can lose.

Evan Esar (1899 – 1995)
