Writers of Chantilly member Denice Jobe represented the
Writers of Chantilly at the Book 'Em
North Carolina Writers Conference and Book Fair in Lumberton, NC, on February 22, 2014 .
The annual event, now in its third year, brings together
authors, publishers and literary agents who sell and sign their books and
participate in talks and panel discussions. A portion of the proceeds raised
from the event is given to the community - Robeson County and Lumberton, North
Carolina - for the purpose of increasing literacy and reducing crime.
A record 4,000 readers and writers attended this year's
event.
Copies of The Writers of Chantilly's anthologies, Nana...and Other Grandmothers and A Medley of Mischief, Mayhem and Madness
were available for purchase at our table. Nana
was very popular, selling out by mid-day!
Along with books for sale, several of our earlier
anthologies were on display, and Denice handed out promotional fliers about our
most recent anthology, Etched in Memory,
to all who stopped by to check out the books and to learn about the group.
Overall, it was a fun and successful event, and a wonderful opportunity
for The Writers of Chantilly to reach new readers.
