It’s a new year and that means new opportunities! Happy New Year everyone! Let’s dive right into what I’ve got planned for the first half of this year.
Jan: We’re going to start off slowly in January. I’ve got Arizona Authors Association meetings coming up, followed by new stream hours. Fri-Sat. Friday times will vary until I can get into a rhythm. Taxes of course are due, but more importantly, tickets for the Storymaker’s convention opens up! I’ll be moderating a book launch for an Arizona Author’s Association member, Lalo Léon. Go check out his debut novel!
So far, February is a blank canvas. I’m sure I’ll find something to keep myself busy. I have a novel to fix, and others to write. One thing I’ll be doing in March, is setting everything up for March.
March: Oh man, I can’t wait for March. I’ve mentioned it now, what, three times? March (for good measure) is the Tucson Festival of Books, March 15-16th. I’d like to be there both days, whether that means I’ll be at a booth/table, is yet to be determined. It’s, of course, up to the Arizona Authors Association board if they send me for both days or just one. Either way, come down to the expo and say hello!
April will be another free month, for now I don’t have anything planned. Though, I’m sure that could change. I’ve been keeping an eye open for shows to attend and promote the Arizona Authors Association as well as my own works. I love coming out to the shows and meeting new people.
May: Another big month I’m excited for. Storymakers Conference in Provo Utah on May 8th-10th. I really want to take this time to meet new people, authors, agents, editors, whomever. Learn as much as I can from the convention and really hone my craft as best I can while I’m there. This is by far the biggest book business trip, I’ll be taking. I hope, though, that it’s the start of something more. But we’ll see.
June is another rest month. This will probably be like February, and I’ll use it to catch up on admin aspects of publishing. It’s also the end of the first half of the year. July though, well, July information will have to wait. I have to leave you with some kind of cliff hanger, keep you coming back!
