In honor of National Library Week, we are bringing together local authors and aspiring writers. This is an opportunity for published authors in many genres to provide valuable information about writing, finding agents, finding the right publisher, self-publishing and book promotion to those who aspire to be published. Authors will also sign and sell their books. WriterFest is organized and hosted by Buffalo Grove author Michelle True.  Refreshments will be served and there will be a free raffle for gifts. This event is FREE but space is limited. Registration begins February 15, 2007 by calling the library at (847) 459-4100 or at the library's online calendar: http://itpld-res.itpld.lib.il.us/evanced/lib/eventcalendar.asp
