The
Mid-Florida Scribes are pleased to announce that award-winning Sarasota
author and editor Liz Coursen will present a two-part workshop for
authors and aspiring authors on Saturday, October 10, at the Lake Wales
Public Library.
The
first program, "Self-Editing in the Internet Age," will introduce
participants to what Coursen feels are the "top six" editing mistakes
that she sees people make, in books, in blogs, in bios. "It's difficult
to take someone seriously when you read his or her writing and find
typos and other mistakes," says Coursen. "Fortunately, editing is fun
and easy, once you know some basic rules. In fact, I enjoy editing so
much that I blog about it at EditNation.com."
Coursen's
second program, "The Book Tourist: Seven Steps to a Wildly Successful
Book Tour," is all about promotion. "I'm a nine-time author," Coursen
says. "I speak about my books on average 80-100 times a year, and I love
to share my hard-won knowledge with other authors. All authors, whether
traditionally published or self-published, need to recognize one simple
fact: it's all up to you. You have to take your book promotion
into your own two little hands, and an effective, efficient book tour is
a great way to spread the good news about your book."
