To say that I am delighted is a gross understatement, I am ecstatic, but on
Tuesday,
July 21st, at
12 noon at the
Library of Congress, I will be bringing a
free lecture
open to the public on how to self publish your manuscript. I will be lecturing on
the various markets, the strengths and weaknesses of each as well as
potential pitfalls, manuscript preparation, designing the covers, and
then marketing the finished product so you’re not the best kept secret
in the literary world.
Then overstimulated by the exciteme
nt,
I will probably experience transient global amnesia and go off
screaming about the reptilian overlords of Tajikstan and their plan to
steal our air and it will all degenerate into me going into a fetal
position in a corner and making motorboat noises with my lips.
I would like everybody to bring a tub of lard as well as an assortment
of grease guns and spatulas for a group project. It’s going to be fun!
(Note: The first paragraph is true. The next two...not so much.
Much.)
