Sigma's Bookshelf Co-founder Speaks at ITEM Conference in Alexandria, MN Oct. 26

   I had a great time presenting at the The Information and Technology Educators of Minnesota (ITEM) Fall Conference in Alexandria, Minn., on Oct. 26.
   Thanks to all the school media center professionals who attended my presentation, "Empowering Teens Who Are Passionate About Writing to Get a Book Published Before They Turn 18." I look forward to presenting at several of your schools soon.

   In addition to offering a glimpse into how it's possible for teens to get their books published for free, I shared the basics on the novel writing process, and talked about how the publishing industry works. If you are interested in having me come speak at your child's school during Novel Writing Month in Nov., or I Love to Read Month in Feb., please send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots.
