Laurel Anne Hill

Book Promotion: 19 Years of Lessons

Laurel Anne Hill will condense her 19 years of book promotion experience into a 30-minute presentation, then open the floor for attendees to share their own publishing journey and swap valuable strategies. Come join us for this interactive session. 

Laurel Anne Hill—author and former underground storage tank operator—classifies her third award-winning novel, Plague of Flies: Revolt of the Spirits, 1846, as historical fantasy/magical realism. So far, Plague of Flies has received 17 awards and some terrific professional reviews. Her second novel, The Engine Woman’s Light, has won a total of 13 honors and awards, including a Kirkus star. Over 30 of Laurel’s short stories and many of her short nonfiction pieces have been published. She served as Fault Zone Editor-in-Chief for three of its eleven anthologies. Laurel has been a member of CWC for over 20 years. For more information, visit https://laurelannehill.com.

About Writers Helping Writers at
San Mateo Public Library

The San Francisco Peninsula branch of CWC hosts a Writers Helping Writers program at the San Mateo Public Library on the second Thursday of the month from 6:30 to 8 pm. This event is managed by CWC member David Strom and co-sponsored by Tuula Laine, a librarian at the library and a member of the San Francisco Peninsula CWC.

Each month, CWC SF Peninsula branch members share learned techniques and experiences in their craft. From scoping out your memoir to finding inspiration for a poem to plotting your novel to learning the ins and outs of blogging—we teach what we’ve learned. This is an opportunity for all writers to meet and share their experiences.

Our purpose? To pass on what we’ve discovered to help other writers.

Anyone can attend, free of charge.

Watch this space for announcements of the month’s topic. Meetings are in-person only.
