<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi Ed (and Michlib-l),<br><br></div>We're having one on Saturday, October 15th (just 9 days away!) and I have 25 authors signed up to participate. I view it as giving an "equal playing field" showcase to local authors, who may not be able to sustain a solo event, and as fostering connections between authors. When I did them at Springfield Township I think the authors may have had more fun than the patrons - they made a lot of good connections with other writers.<br><br></div>If this goes well here at Loutit, I'll consider doing them twice a year (spring and fall) since we have so many writers in the area.<br><br></div>Laura<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 5, 2016 at 7:11 PM, Ed Burns <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:edburnsiii@ferndalepubliclibrary.org" target="_blank">edburnsiii@ferndalepubliclibrary.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal">Good day.

multiple authors come, and sit at tables selling their books and talking to
people. He said he’d participated in one
in Monroe. We had one here a few years
ago, but don’t have another one planned. Figured I’d put this out there and see if any
of you folks are getting one together.<span></span></p>
