Newfane Local Author Book Fair Was a Huge Success!

Kelly Artieri, an Olcott author and member of the Newfane Public Library board of trustees, organized a free local authors’ event from 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on April 21, 2018 in the Community Room of Newfane Town Hall, 2737 Main Street, Newfane, NY.

Nearly two dozen local authors participated to sign and sell their books and chat with the public. Genres represented included fiction, non-fiction, memoir, educational, mystery, historical fiction, children’s, young adult, middle school, fantasy, holiday romance, self help/coaching, spiritual, poetry, thriller and science fiction.

Authors came from throughout Niagara and Erie counties, and from as far as Batavia. The authors each donated one of their books to the Newfane Public Library, which is sponsoring the event.

I attended the event and was blown away!  I met so many nice people, and I was so impressed with the volume and quality of work that was presented.  These authors are the real deal!

I’m told that this event will become an annual event. I’m willing to bet it gets bigger and better every year!

Book Talk with Local Author Norah Perez at Lewiston Library October 16, 2017 at 7pm

The Lewiston Writers’ Group is happy to participate in advertising a Book Talk scheduled at the Lewiston Public Library on October 16, 2017 at 7pm for Norah Perez. Without Norah Perez, our group would never have started!

Back in May, 2008, myself and three other future members of the Lewiston Writers’ Group attending creative writing workshops taught by Norah at the Lewiston Library.  We loved Norah and learned so much, and truly enjoyed spending time with other writers and exchanging feedback and ideas.  So…the four of us decided to go ahead and keep on meeting regularly on our own after Norah’s classes were finished…and that started the Lewiston Writers’ Group!

We’re coming up on our ten-year anniversary in the spring of 2018, and I know the reason we’ve lasted this long is because we followed Norah’s lead for conducting meetings.  She created a tone of acceptance, encouragement, only positive criticism/critique, and fellowship among writers.  Apparently that plan works, because it’s been nearly ten years now and our group has touched the lives of so many local writers.  Thank you, Norah!

Please join us on October 16 for an opportunity support Norah!
