Are you ready to find a publisher?

     That's the name of an upcoming event here at the Moultrie-Colquitt County Library.
     Dr. Anne Holt will present the workshop on Saturday, February 26th from noon to 3 p.m.  It's a one-hour presentation with two hours for individual review and comments.  It's a workshop to help you with writing, editing, querying and pitching.  What more could you ask if you're ready to find a publisher?  A person coming to you right here in Moultrie, Georgia to tell you how to do it.
     Registration is required since class size will be small.  The cost is only $30 per person and payable at the door.  All you have to do to register is call 229-985-6540 or email mccls@mccls.org.  Once you've registered, you'll be given more information about Dr. Holt's requirements for submissions for her review.
     In case you're wondering who Dr. Holt is, I must tell you her resume' is quite impressive.  She is the author of six novels and a book of poetry.  She's serving her second year as president and fundraiser/grant writer for the Tallahassee Writer's Association, Inc.  She's also served on the "Art in the Court Committee" of the Florida Supreme Court and is grant writer for the Tallahassee Film Society, Inc.
     Dr. Holt is an active member of Western Writers of America, Women Writing the West, The Florida Library Association and ALAN (Assembly on Literature for Adolescents).
     We've had Dr. Holt here at the library before when she taught a class on grant writing and the class was well received.  So, we expect people will be excited for more advice from her at this next class on publishing.
     Maybe you've written that novel and you don't know what to do next.  Well, maybe you do know, but just don't know how to go about it.   This is your opportunity.  Are you ready to find a publisher?
     See you on February 26th.
