Saturday, November 29, 10-3 – Rochester Hills Public Library
Twenty Michigan authors were on hand to discuss their books, share their love of writing, and to sign copies of their latest books. The event included a mix of traditionally published and indie published authors from a variety of genres, including children’s fiction, adult fiction, and nonfiction titles. The popular local literary event took place in the library’s Multipurpose Room from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I made my first sale of the day five minutes into the event and it was uphill from there. See more photos.
