Linda Bond

On July 3rd, Stephen (Steve) LaLonde will visit with local authors and readers to present his memoir – “…to teach” which released this Spring. He will talk about his writing career and what led him to write a memoir about his many years as a successful instructor, respected and loved by students and other teachers as well. His book is garnering numerous positive reviews including mentions of his unique teaching style and creative efforts to engage students in a way to help them prepare for “real life” in the world.

The event is held at 2 pm on July 3rd, as part of a long-running series spotlighting local authors in the Local Authors Book Club. It is a zoom event. Non-regulars may request the event link from Linda at auntiesbooks@gmail.com. Come add your voice to the conversation with Steve and be prepared to ask questions. See you there!

Copies of Steve’s book are available now at Auntie’s Bookstore by phone: 509-838-0206 or website: auntiesbooks.com.

Regional author Colin Conway will share his presentation – Building Your Brand – for writers at the INWG zoom meeting 6-19-24, at 7 pm. This event requires a link to participate, but otherwise it is free. You may request the link by contacting Linda at lindathewriter@gmail.com before noon on the 19th.

Whether you are a beginning writer or one who has self-published your work, or perhaps have published through a more traditional approach – e.g. with a publishing house – you are invited to take part in this instruction session with Colin. He is, himself, a successful author, with numerous books in at least 5 different series, and can share his experience with you to help save time and effort in your own planning. In other words, he knows his stuff!

As a writer, it is important for your audience to be able to find you by recognizing your “Brand” amongst the millions of others in the marketplace. Even before you publish your first book, it’s time to start the work on your branding. But it’s never too late to make your current brand status even better. Colin will help you recognize the most important ingredients to focus on, and how to avoid the mistakes that can make your branding efforts more difficult in the future.

Join us this Wednesday for a fun and inspiring look at the importance of Building Your Brand with Colin Conway! Did I mention it’s free!?! See you soon – Linda
