Break Down the Barriers: Program at Downers Grove Library on Tuesday, November 5

Just a quick announcement for my local readers--I'll be presenting my popular program, "Break Down the Barriers: Becoming a Writer," at the Downers Grove Public Library on Tuesday night, November 5th,  at 7:00 p.m. While the program is aimed at would-be novelists (November is NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month, after all), I'll have great advice for writers of all stripes. If you struggle with procrastination, self-doubt, lack of drive, or all of the above, please come to this free program and give your writing career a tune-up!

Later next week, I'll be speaking at Content Connections in downtown Chicago on November 7th and 8th. If you're a freelancer who wants to get into "content marketing," one of the most lucrative (and fastest-growing) writing niches, I highly recommend this program! Be sure to come up and say hello if you're there! 

And finally, if you're thinking about publishing a book, mark your calendars for my next program at the  Downers Grove Public Library. "So You Want to be an Author: Your Book Publishing Options Today"  will introduce you to the variety of publishing options and their pros and cons, and help you decide which option is right for you.
