Everyone has a story, what’s keeping you from writing yours?

Journalists and public relations professionals are used to telling stories every day. But when it comes time for these communications pros to pen their own prose, many don’t have a clue as to where to start and how to be smart about promoting their work.

November 19, 2016 public relations veteran Cherrie Woods www.eclecticpr.com/ will share tips on how media professionals can write and promote their own book. This presentation at Maryland Public Television will include instruction on choosing the best book cover, developing an online presence and creating an electronic toolkit. The event is free and open to the public. Registration is required. Please stick around for a book signing and chance to meet & greet Cherrie Woods.
