And We're Off On A Literary Adventure by Margo Hoornstra




 
 
As you read this, fellow Rose Diane Burton and I will be taking our act on the road. Literally. The road due north from our homes near the center of Michigan to the resort town of Alpena on the shores of beautiful Lake Huron.

Saturday, September 24th we’ll be part of the 2nd Annual Alpena Book Festival. Panel discussions we’ll participate in include When You’re A Michigan Author, Steps to Publication, Keeping the Spark Alive, It’s Out of This World and Crossing Genres. Between workshops during the day, we’ll also sign our books. (Crossed fingers and positive thoughts appreciated and accepted!)
 
 

Diane gets full credit for my introduction to the Festival she discovered in her on-line travels and initiated our attendance. Wish us luck.

In future posts, we’ll let you know how we fared and, more importantly, how and when we plan to do this again!
 
My days to blog here are the 11th and 23rd. For more about me and my stories, please visit my WEBSITE

How exciting for you both! I know you'll be wonderful. :-) I wish I could transport myself up to Lake Huron to join you! I'll be with you in spirit, sending all positive vibes. :-)

Thanks, Leah. Wish you and the other Roses could join us. The best part of this festival is no cost to authors (other than travel expenses). No table to rent, no participation fee. I like this kind of festival. Margo's a great travel companion. This should be fun.

Road trip! Enjoy the experience. Take pictures, too!

Transport away, Leah! Next year maybe?

Margo Hoornstra said...

Oh thank you, Diane. I am aren't I? LOL! Kidding! You sure made me step out of my comfort zone. More later, ladies!

Slay it or us, Jannine! It'll be fun. You'll, of course, get a full report.

Margo Hoornstra said...

Oh yeah! Pictures, Rolyn. Can't wait to get to this!

This is where I get very jealous of people who live anywhere but New York. The little book clubs, indie book stores, and festivals you can go to and sell books. Good luck to you both, and have a great time.
