2010 Local Author Programs

  
  
Local author programs are a hard sell at Tustin Library.  This was my second one and not too many came out to see, perhaps most in attendance were maybe 15.  Most of the authors were good in engaging with the audience's questions on how they were published or how they came up with the information.  What doesn't work is if the author reads over 10 minutes to try to sell the book. 

On a good note, one of the author's here continues to head the literary group, Independent Writers of Southern California.  In fact, it was an earlier candidate who came to one of our book groups to discuss his book who started the Southern California chapter of IWOSC and passed the baton to someone else.
