Last year I presented a program called "Getting Published--Without Getting Scammed" at the Parmly Billings Library. We're bringing it back this year--if you're interested in how to get a literary agent, put together a book proposal and other avenues to "traditional" publishing, I'll give some advice. Even if you're committed to self-publishing, I'll try to help you avoid a few pitfalls.

I'll be leading a discussion of "Petey" by Ben Mikaelsen at Castle Rock Middle School, as part of the "One Book Billings" program. Live in Billings? Want to read and discuss the book? Sign up for my group by calling the library at 657-8258. Or, find out more information.
