Ready to Grow your Community and Readers?Willamette Writers in Eugene is excited to invite you to join us at the downtown branch of the Eugene Public Library on Tuesday, October 15th from 6:00 – 7:30 PM. We’ll be joined by Miriam Gershow and Anne Gudger as they discuss approaching book publicity as a path toward community building. They will share strategies – participating in online and in-person conversations with other authors, cultivating a reading series, courting area book stores, planning house parties, and creating public and private Facebook groups – that have helped spread the word about their books while also putting them in community of readers, writers, and book lovers of all stripes.
