This process helps you gain clarity on your goals\, values\, and what makes you or your offering unique. \nYou may not be ready to make a formal pitch to agents and publishers\, but you should always be ready to talk about your book with clarity and confidence. You never know who you will meet. The time to practice your pitch is before you find yourself sitting on the plane next to a publisher. This special two-part event will get you ready! \nSession A: Create Your Elevator Pitch. Thurs\, Feb 8\, 6 – 7:30 pm. Pitch-O-Rama and veteran publisher Brenda Knight will coach us through the basics of a great elevator pitch: what do publishers and agents need to hear? What will turn them off\, and what will pull them in?\nRSVP here: https://millvalleylibrary.libcal.com/event/11602407 \nSession B: Now\, Practice It! Thurs\, Feb 15\, 6 – 7:30 pm. Stand up before a friendly\, informal audience and deliver your 3-minute pitch. If you wish\, the audience can provide feedback. CWC Marin President Daniel Bacon will moderate.\nRSVP here: https://millvalleylibrary.libcal.com/event/11602408 \n About the Coach \nBrenda Knight is a twenty-year publishing veteran\, starting at HarperCollins.  She authored American Book Award-winning Women of the Beat Generation\, Rituals for Life and Wild Women and Books. She is Past President of the Women’s National Book Association\, which hosts the annual Pitch-O-Rama. Knight has worked with many bestselling authors including Mark Nepo\, Phil Cousineau\, Congresswoman Jackie Speier\, and Paolo Coehlo.

SUMMARY:Searching for Patty Hearst
DESCRIPTION:On the night that Patty Hearst was kidnapped in 1974\, journalist Roger D. Rapoport was a short drive away in his El Cerrito home. He quickly became one of the primary reporters covering the saga as it unfolded in real time. His reporting gave local and national readers a window into one of the most bizarre and polarizing crimes in U.S. history. Now\, fifty years later\, he has written a novel\, Searching for Patty Hearst\, that draws heavily from that time. In this compelling new book\, he explores alternative theories of the crime and delves into the complex psychology of many of the key actors in a drama that kept the country riveted. With a wry sensibility and insider knowledge that Rapoport is one of the few people to possess\, Searching for Patty Hearst goes beyond the tabloid headlines to tell the story in all its depth.

SUMMARY:Editors Helping Editors
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our “Editors Helping Editors” meeting. Bring your problems\, big and small\, as well as your thinking caps. We’ll work together to solve event-goers quandaries and questions\, which could range from common questions like how to find clients in a particular field (say academic editing) to more situation-specific issues like why a particular macro isn’t working in Word. The only topic that’s off limits is setting rates\, as that can be seen as price-fixing. However\, we can talk about rate-adjacent topics\, such as tools and data we use when setting rates\, what counts as a tax write-off\, and how/when to raise rates. \nThis event is now open to all editors and will not be recorded.

SUMMARY:Love List Workshop with Sherry Belul
DESCRIPTION:It’s February and that means you likely need a special gift for the loves in your life. \nWNBA Member Sherry Richert Belul\, author of Say it Now\, has a great gift idea that is simple to make and can stand alone or pair with something you’ve already bought. \nSherry will be leading us in an interactive\, joyful\, and connecting activity of creating Love List Gifts.  \nWhat’s a Love List? It is a brainstorm of specific reasons you love someone and what makes them unique. A Love List is sweet\, funny\, sexy\, or serious. It can include any number — from five to fifteen to fifty — of loving attributes\, characteristics\, or memories about someone. It is one of the most simple —yet profound— ways to show someone what makes them unique and why they matter. \nAll too often\, people wait until funerals to express their love and appreciation. Sherry encourages you to say it now\, while the person can hear it. “I believe that what we all want most in life is to know that we make a difference and that we’re loved for exactly who we are\,” Sherry says. \nSherry will be leading us through the process of creating this one-of-a-kind gift. She’ll offer some prompts as we create our Love Lists. So come to the meeting with some paper and a pen. Or\, you can download Sherry’s free printable and bring that to fill in as we go: https://simplycelebrate.net/love/ \nWe promise that this will be a joyful process for YOU — and will make a wonderful gift for someone you love!

SUMMARY:A Radical Alteration: Women’s Studio Workshop as a Sustainable Model for Art Making
DESCRIPTION:In her seminal 1971 essay\, Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists? (link is external)Art historian Linda Nochlin examines the conditions of art-making that have prevented women and BIPOC artists from achieving the status of artistic “greatness” that has long been exclusively reserved for white male artists. Written at the height of the second-wave Feminist movement at a time when women artists were beginning to organize as collectives\, Nochlin’s essay implores them to work toward altering these conditions by “taking part in the creation of institutions in which clear thought—and true greatness—are challenges open to anyone\, man or woman\, courageous enough to take the necessary risk\, the leap into the unknown.”\nAs one of the few remaining arts organizations devoted to women-identifying artists from this period of cultural reckoning\, Women’s Studio Workshop (WSW)(link is external) can be viewed as a model for radical change. Founded in 1974 by artists Ann Kalmbach\, Tatana Kellner\, Anita Wetzel\, and Barbara Leoff Burge\, WSW has grown from a grass-roots organization to an invaluable institution that serves women and trans\, intersex\, nonbinary\, and genderfluid artists. Its longevity is due to the original vision of its founders\, who developed a series of programs that provided crucial support to artists while also contributing to the organization’s sustainability. One of these programs is its Artists’ Book imprint\, which has been a focus of WSW’s Artist-in-Residence program since 1981.\nA Radical Alteration: Women’s Studio Workshop as a Sustainable Model for Art Making looks at the organization’s rich history as a proponent of book arts for marginalized communities in the U.S. Through artists’ books\, printed materials\, ephemera\, and archival materials\, the exhibition looks at how the organization’s policies\, programming\, and operations have evolved over the last fifty years\, creating a space where the conditions of art making and institutional support are in service to a sustainable and more equitable art ecosystem.

SUMMARY:When We Walk By
DESCRIPTION:When We Walk By takes an urgent look at homelessness in America\, showing us what we lose—in ourselves and as a society—when we choose to walk past and ignore our neighbors in shelters\, insecure housing\, or on the streets.
