CALENDAR NOTES

General Meeting & Luncheon, voting on new officers and presentation on "Self Publishing-From Story to Print and Beyond" by Sonja McGiboney
Registration required. See left column to register.
11:30 am. Location Rocco's Smokehouse Grill

March 26, 2022
BOOK PARADE
Saturday 10:00 am to 4:00 pm (set up at 9:00 am)
Here is your chance to show your books and share what publishing path you took. While the event is for CBW members to learn more about publishing options from their published peers, it will take place in a public location where you are permitted to sell your books. There is limited space for about 25 tables, but ya'll can share if you find a partner. Come look at displays, get ideas for marketing and publishing, talk to other writers about their "groaning" mistakes. There are a few tables available, but most will need to bring their own. There are no fees and parking is plentiful in the shopping mall across the street.
The more people we tell about the event, the more likely we will have shoppers. Spread the word.
221 Monticello Ave. Williamsburg VA 23185
