Hello AlzAuthor!
Our first Meet Up was a terrific success! Twenty-nine authors attended. Here are some of their comments:
- Thanks for doing these!
- This was, certainly, one of the best-run online meetings I have participated in! You did well to manage the time while sharing some excellent information.
- Great first meet up. Shame the breakout sessions didn’t happen but that will be sorted next time, I’m sure!
- I appreciate all the work you are doing to keep the tribe together and to help us deliver our messages of hope to others.
- Thanks for a lovely experience. And thanks for all you do as an advocate for people with dementia, and as an educational organization for people new to dementia and their caretakers. It was great to meet familiar names in person during the meet-up.
On December 1st at 4 pm EST we are hosting our second online Meet Up so we can get to know our authors and share how AlzAuthors can help you market your book or drive traffic to your blog.
We will kick off the hour with a brief pep talk about the importance of social media, then Jean Lee will give a tutorial on how to use the free design app "Canva" to create beautiful graphics to use across your social media, website, blog, newsletters, wherever you spread the word about your book and Alzheimer's and dementia awareness. You can get a head start by signing up for a free account at Canva.com.
We'll also talk a bit about our new Round Robin Book Review Circles and Marianne will give a short demo on how that works. Authors are already reading and reviewing each other's books! If you're looking for book reviews you don't want to miss this.
At the end we'll break into small groups for further discussion. And, this time we'll be using Zoom so hopefully we won't run into any techy glitches.
Our goal is to create a personal connection, to build our community of 300 authors into a force to not only raise awareness of the dementias and reduce the stigma associated with a diagnosis, but to get much needed resources into the hands of those who need them.
We look forward to ”meeting” you.
Marianne, Jean, Vicki, Ann, and Kathryn
