On 3/22 I met with two of our participants (others couldn't make it but I have shared handouts with them) and we talked about MN Writes and MN Reads and I did a demonstration of how one could compose or upload a book using this online platform. We also reviewed how one could have the book made into a variety of formats to be able to share to an online book catalog or submit to other forums. Last we looked at how to read other local self published authors and e-books from MN presses that are available on Indie Minnesota and Biblioboard.
Cow Tipping Press Author Reading Event
What a fabulous event! Our five authors all were able to make it and they brought family and friends and we had about 40 people over all plus great treats! Bryan from Cow Tipping Press and I made brief presentations thanking Dakota and Ramsey Counties for access to their ASD Innovations Grant funds, to TAP for helping us recruit our participants, to Saint Paul Public Library for hosting the event, to Cow Tipping Press for the great workshop, and to our participants for taking part and sharing their voices with us.
Our participants each received two copies of their book and had the chance to get up and read some or all of their works that appeared in the book.
Everyone did a great job! I read for Mike and then he talked about his works and his influences. All in all a great night and a wonderful chance to increase our understanding of diversity by hearing voices that aren't heard often enough.
