As a marketing consultant for over 25 years and the author of a new self--published true crime family memoir, I am giving talks that baby boomer library patrons really love. I speak on "Telling and Selling Your Own Family Story". A recent study showed that over 80% of people feel they have a book inside them. I show them how to tell the story and the right marketing angles to use to promote and sell it. For more information on the talk visit the Calendar of Events page at www.cmapublishing.net
