It's a fresh year full of fresh plans for local authors, and we're sure you're interested in working some live author events in 2023! Author events encourage literacy, inspire writers, delight readers, support small business, celebrate diversity, validate public library programs, and create unique community opportunities. They are also terrific for networking with your fellow authors. Check out these three upcoming event opportunities in North County as shared from local author and SDWI member Jolie Tunnell, shared further through San Diego Writers, Ink.
