Search any major city for a book event and you will be blown away at how many are out there. But when you seek to narrow your focus to other areas of diversity that include women, you might be surprised at how few there really are..
Lucky for us, we are doing our part locally by way of our Hook a Sista Up (HASU)
2nd annual Women Who Write Author Showcase, which returns to the south side’s Kroc Center on Saturday, Oct. 15.
This unique community event follows
HASU’s mission to help area women authors gain visibility and recognition in their community.
This literary showcase enables folks hoping to connect with local women authors and writers to interact with the more than 15 authors scheduled to appear this year.
In addition, this year HASU presents a writer’s workshop before the marketplace opens.
The workshop titled “Getting Going, Getting Started,” will be led by author Anna J. Small Roseboro, who will share actionable ideas for budding writers or those simply wanting to know more about storytelling to get started on your new manuscript.
Small Roseboro is a published author and veteran teacher whose workshop will help writers focus on their audience and personal goals enabling them to take those confident steps towards completing a work of fiction or non-fiction. You must
pre-register for this workshop event and the cost is $20.
Hook a Sista Up’s mission is to help women entrepreneurs by bringing awareness to their businesses, promoting their work and providing a supportive relationship with other women entrepreneurs as they launch and sustain their businesses through collaboration and mentorship.
Admission: Showcase free, workshop $20.
