Come to the Charlottesville Book Fair on Saturday 18 November

Visit the Charlottesville Book Fair on the Saturday before the (US) Thanksgiving holiday weekend. I’ll be there with copies of my writer’s handbook, FLOAT • Becoming Unstuck for Writers. Get your copies signed in plenty of time to wrap them up for holiday gifts. And wait, there’s more!

Introducing a New FLOAT Item!

Launching at CBF 2017! FLOAT Cards for Writers

And – ta-daaahh! – I’ll be introducing something new – the perfect gift for the writers in your life. Meet the latest, coolest FLOAT item – FLOAT Cards for Writers. The 52 cards will be there for you when you need one.

Want a quick bit of inspiration, or intervention? Just pick a card. I designed each of the 52 cards in the FLOAT Cards for Writers deck to offer a bite-size piece of wisdom, or a challenging question – just the thing to brighten a gloomy day, or jumpstart a stalled-out writing project.

That's me! If we haven't met before, look for someone who looks like this.

The day begins at CitySpace (on the historic Downtown Mall in the same building as the Market Street Garage, the Post Office, and Bashir’s Taverna) at 10 o’clock Saturday morning, 18 November. (It’s the weekend before Thanksgiving.) Think about how much more you’ll be able to enjoy Thanksgiving, knowing you’ve already taken care of your gift list!
