Yesterday, there was a lot going on in Jacksonville. It was hard to choose what to do. We had the World of Nations Celebration in Metropolitan Park, the Veg Fest in Riverside Park, Jacksonville Science Festival at Friendship Fountain and free admission to the MOSH, and the Jax Book Fest at the downtown public library. We attended those last two. It was fun to see all the budding new scientists and get inspired by their enthusiasm! At the Book Fest, I met with a few other writers and illustrators, purchased a couple of books, and learned about the Florida Authors & Publishers Association, Inc. (FAPA). It looks like an organization that could be very helpful for beginners like John and myself. Their website is myFAPA.org. Membership is reasonable and looks like they offer a lot of services and benefits that would help those interested in writing and publishing. |
