Networking Luncheon Friday at NMBA Book Forum!
+ Same Place, New Space for 10/9 "Brown Bag"
NMBA’s October Networking Brown Bag Luncheon is tomorrow, Friday 10/9 at the usual address: 826 Camino del Monte Rey in Santa Fe, starting at 11:30am. Our gathering space is now downstairs with our new office. It’s more intimate, but also more convenient -- no stairs! Come to the brown Recursos door on the west side of the building. We’ve named this meeting space the NMBA Book Forum. As always, there’s no charge and juices and cookies provided. Bring a friend and talk about your publishing or writing project. (NMBA Board of Directors meets at 1:30, following the Networking Luncheon.)
+ Book Review Professional Workshop Next Thursday
There’s still a seat for you at Book Reviews: The Inside Story next Thursday evening, October 15. Location will be St. Bede’s Episcopal Church, just off St. Francis Drive with entrance on San Mateo. Seasoned regional book reviewers Erin Adair-Hodges, Cindy Bellinger and Sabra Brown-Steinsiek will help you get that priceless review in a variety of publications. Contact Paula to reserve your place: (505) 473-3479, lozarpaula@cs.com
