It’s the Write Thing to Do

Open a window To the world

Give a book as a gift

In the United States, October 20^th is National Day on Writing. This day celebrates not only the talent of writing but encourages those who do write, to perform that task to the best of their ability.

In recognition of this day, I am making a suggestion; gift someone a book.  This could be someone you know or even someone you have never met, nor may ever meet.  As books come in many forms, this could be a physical book, an eBook or even an audio book.  Keep in mind there are many who are sight challenged and a braille book would be a delightful gift to receive.

Why do I invite you to share in this manner? Books speak to the imagination, often they touch our hearts and can stir the soul. They teach us to cook, encourage us to think and understand us in ways those around us cannot.

Yes, I am a published author and it would my honor to have you gift any of the books I have written.  However it matters more to me that you find at least one book, even if that book comes from the bargain bin at the local “everything for a buck” store, and present it to someone with joy and excitement. Believe that your gift will open a window to the world!

Book Me for October!

 

Did you know that, here in the United States, there is a National Day on Writing?  I didn’t either until I received an invite from the local library to participate in their month long festivities.  The celebration will include displays of books written by local authors, a meet-and-greet and a book signing event!

Back in 2009, the National Council of Teachers of English, established October 20^th as the National Day on Writing.

The purposes of this day were to:

1 – Highlight the remarkable variety of writing we engage in everyday

2 – Provide a collection for research on whether writing today has risen to new highs or sunk to new lows

3 – Help us help others to write better.

 So, the Westland Public Library has offered several local, published authors to submit a book of their choosing which will be placed in a display case for the entire month of October. On Saturday, October 17^th, there is a meet-and greet as well as a book signing where the authors are welcome to sell their books.

 I chose to submit my book, Perspective, it’s all about replacing one thought with another. This is a book of poetry, prose and photographs of mine, which were all chosen to help one shift their perspective should they so desire.  And I have arranged to share a table with another local author (whose book will be on display as well) for the book signing.

This is so exciting and I look forward to being able to share my book, learn about other local authors and say that I have one of my books in a library!

http://www.amazon.com/author/annetterochelleaben is my Author Central Page, where Perspective can be found.  Perspective is available in both paperback and Kindle editions.

Of course, I can be contacted directly for autographed copies. So by all means, reach out!
