"March is reading month. Pick a local author near you, buy their book and read it! It will be good for everyone." ~ Dan Waltz.
This was a recent post of mine on Facebook a couple days
ago, and it brought the attention of this response from Carrie
Shay. "We should make this a movement."
Followed by another post "Where can we find Michigan
authors, I only know of two." ~ Lisa Jacobson. I was one of the authors she knew. What
more could she have needed? LOL
I gave Lisa's question some thought and came up with an idea, hence a group called "Support Michigan Authors" was
born.
What better day to start this group than National Book Day, 2013 (March 7th, 2013).
This is an open group for both readers and authors who want to
support Michigan authors.
There is a lot of good books out there and this Facebook "group" will be one way to bring to the readers what Michigan has to offer.
It's going to take a while to get this group going full speed, but I would appreciate your support in the process. If you are a reader who wants to read and support local, Michigan authors I urge you to join the group and stand by. You're in for a treat.
If you know of any Michigan authors or book illustrators, please by all means, invite them to join in and post their books, book reviews, events and book trailers. Anything books, Michigan grown goes.
