SFR Evening Post

Good evening, Brigaders! Welcome to the first of our SFR Evenings Posts!

Like many of you, I work full-time (and then some) so I’m a bit scarce during the day. In order to better communicate what’s going on, going down and coming up with our community, I’m going to start posting updates, discussion topics and activity ideas in the evenings (Mountain time USA) several times a week.

For tonight, let’s talk about Publisher’s Showcase which begins next week, Monday, May 17 and continues to Friday, May 21. I’m really looking forward to this event and doing recon missions on all these great publishers.

In order to let our Publishing Showcase have the spotlight next week, I’m asking that we suspend all posts during the five days of May 17 - 21 in order to focus on the publishers who’ve been kind enough to take time out of their busy schedules to join our showcase and answer our hosts’ questions. Let’s give them all a warm welcome and have questions and comments ready. Meanwhile, you can post away this weekend…and next weekend is fair game, too.

To help promote the event, please think about how you can help get the word out to other interested parties next week. Here are a few ideas:

Deploy the Twitter Brigade
Post links on your blogs and web sites
Mention it on Yahoo loops
Tell your online critique groups or partners
Tell your local writers groups and RWA chapter members
Email your writerly friends

Thanks in advance for your support for this big event, Brigaders.
