Breakfast of Writing Champions

On Saturday, June 23, I will be waking up ridiculously early for the hour-long drive from Evanston to Glen Ellyn, where I'll be giving a breakfast talk to other writers at the town's annual BookFest. The topic: promoting yourself as a writer. Joining me for the discussion at Glen Ellyn Library will be Danielle Egan-Miller, president of Browne & Miller Literary Associates, and Joanna MacKenzie, an agent at Browne & Miller. If you're a writer and are able to pull yourself out of bed on a Saturday morning, it should be a lively and worthwhile program. Your morning bowl of writerly advice will be served promptly at 8 a.m. Join me if you can. Read more about the program here. 

After breakfast, I'll be moving over to the Authors Tent, on Duane Street, about a block from the library, where I'll be camped out from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., promoting the Chicago Writers Association and the Chicago Literary Hall of Fame. I'll also have copies of my new book, Cheeseland, available for sale!
