Event Information

Monday, Apr 27, 2026 at 8:30 PM to 10:00 PM EDT

After chasing the Northern Lights and publishing my writing for 14 years, I have become an Aurora Entrepreneur. My events, talks and workshops are in high demand at libraries, parks and festivals around the region. How did I get here? How can you turn a passion into a success story? What can YOU do to elevate your work so it gets noticed? Join me for a creative, honest and motivating conversation about how to get noticed. 

This talk is geared toward writers, photographers, artists or speakers who want to do more with their passion. As I walk you through my journey, I'll share:

  • Free opportunities and admission-based events I pursued that you can too
  • Tips for social media, community networking and promotion
  • Where the need is: Did you know organizations are actively looking for YOU?
  • Advice and wisdom that helped me, and the favorite advice I ever received
  • A Broad View of Places to Get Published
  • Resources to get you started
  • Q&A
