6:00 pm: INDIE PUBLISHING WORKSHOPS WITH MARJ CHARLIER IN PALM SPRINGS6:00 pm: INDIE PUBLISHING WORKSHOPS WITH MARJ CHARLIER IN PALM SPRINGS – WORKSHOP COST: FREE WORKSHOP DATE: Begins Monday January 23, 2017 and runs every other Monday for ten weeks. Workshop meets five times. WORKSHOP LOCATION: Welwood Murray Memorial Library, Palm Springs * 100 S. Palm Canyon Dr * Palm Springs, CA 92262 WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION: Getting from Here to There: An Inlandia Indie Publishing Workshop with Marj Charlier The chances of being traditionally published these days are as slim as they've ever been. With e-book sales soaring and publishers consolidating, traditionally published books are now a small minority of the 4,000 new books published every day. For the vast majority of aspiring writers who want to see their works in print, independent publishing, self-publishing, and subsidy publishing have become better options. But fear keeps many new writers from approaching the steep learning curve of indie publishing and self-marketing, and many of them don't know where to start. The common lament: "I have a memoir/novel/collection of short stories, but I don't know where to go from here." This series of workshops will demystify the steps to indie publishing, helping fence sitters get off the rail and into print. The five "Getting from Here to There" workshops will cover: 1 - Choosing your indie path 2 - Preparing your manuscript 3 - Publishing and distributing 4 - Websites and Facebook marketing 5 - Additional marketing paths Marj Charlier has a bachelor's degree from Iowa State University (Phi Beta Kappa) and a masters degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison as well as an MBA. She worked at several small and mid-sized dailies before joining the Wall Street Journal as a staff reporter. After twenty years in journalism, she spent twenty years in finance departments, during which she wrote her first novel, Putt for Show, which she self-published in 2013. After retiring, she wrote the sequel, Drive for Dough, and three other novels about women facing major career and life changes. Her romance novel, One Way to Succeed, was published late in 2016. A second romance will be published in 2017. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED: https://goo.gl/forms/JBtcwQRBbMtYd0L93 While this workshop is free, donations gratefully accepted.

7:00 pm: CONVERSATIONS AT THE CULVER WITH JILL ALEXANDER ESSBAUM7:00 pm: CONVERSATIONS AT THE CULVER WITH JILL ALEXANDER ESSBAUM – On Thursday February 9, 2017 from 7:00pm- 8:30pm, join the Inlandia Institute for Conversations at the Culver featuring a reading and conversation with author Jill Alexander Essbaum on her new book, Hausfrau.
The Barbara and Art Culver Center of the Arts is located at 3834 Main St, Riverside, CA 92501.
For readers of The Girl on the Train and The Woman Upstairs comes a striking debut novel of marriage, fidelity, sex, and morality, featuring a fascinating heroine who struggles to live a life with meaning.
Anna Benz, an American in her late thirties, lives with her Swiss husband, Bruno--a banker--and their three young children in a postcard-perfect suburb of Zurich. Though she leads a comfortable, well-appointed life, Anna is falling apart inside. Adrift and increasingly unable to connect with the emotionally unavailable Bruno or even with her own thoughts and feelings, Anna tries to rouse herself with new experiences: German language classes, Jungian analysis, and a series of sexual affairs she enters with an ease that surprises even her.
But Anna can't easily extract herself from these affairs. When she wants to end them, she finds it's difficult. Tensions escalate, and her lies start to spin out of control. Having crossed a moral threshold, Anna will discover where a woman goes when there is no going back.
Intimate, intense, and written with the precision of a Swiss Army knife, Jill Alexander Essbaum's debut novel is unforgettable story of marriage, fidelity, sex, morality, and most especially self. Navigating the lines between lust and love, guilt and shame, excuses and reasons, Anna Benz is an electrifying heroine whose passions and choices readers will debate with recognition and fury. Her story reveals, with honesty and great beauty, how we create ourselves and how we lose ourselves and the sometimes disastrous choices we find ourselves.
Jill Alexander Essbaum is the author of several collections of poetry and her work has appeared in The Best American Poetry, as well as its sister anthology, The Best American Erotic Poems, 1800-Present. She is the winner of the Bakeless Poetry Prize and recipient of two NEA literature fellowships. A member of the core faculty at the University of California, Riverside's Palm Desert Low-Residency MFA program, she lives and writes in Austin, Texas.
Praise for Hausfrau
"Elegant...There is much to admire in Essbaum's intricately constructed, meticulously composed novel, including its virtuosic intercutting of past and present."--Chicago Tribune
"A powerful, lyrical novel...Hausfrau boasts taut pacing and melodrama, but also a fully realized heroine as love-hateable as Emma Bovary."--The Huffington Post
"Imagine Tom Perrotta's American nowheresvilles swapped out for a tidy Zurich suburb, sprinkled liberally with sharp riffs on Swiss-German grammar and European hypocrisy."--New York
Books will be available for signing and purchase. Light refreshments will also be served.
This event is free and open to the public. |
