Creating Best-Sellers for ChildrenState Historical Society Museum of Papago Park 1300 N. College Ave. Tempe, AZ TESTIMONIAL: Barbara Lacy, Arizona Press Women, Central District Director says: Wow! Five additional stars to Lynda and Conrad. They were outstanding performers last Saturday. I am so impressed with Lynda and her marketing ideas (or 5 star's ideas.)Lynda was creative, focused, imaginative. She delivered a sterling workshop full of practical ideas most of our audience had not thought of. Including me! There were no slow spots in her presentation. Conrad, too, was full of energy, telling us that facts can be fun. He was engaging while delivering a sophisticated message that you need to do your homework, know your audience. We had two teachers in the audience; I would guess that they might have been the only one who knew about creating teacher guides or putting the information in the back of the book. Kudos to you! And more stars for winning the One Book Award! PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Speakers at this Arizona Press Women's seminar are Conrad J. Storad and Juanita Havill,children's book authors; and Lynda Exley, marketing and publicity expert. Lunch is included for the admission fee of $25 for members and $35 for nonmembers if registered by January 14, 2012 and $35 for members and $45 for nonmembers thereafter.
