Programs Resume at Millhopper Library: The Juggling Act of Independent Authors

February 13, 2022, 2:30 pm - 4:00 pm

NOTE: This is WAG’s first program at Millhopper Library since the COVID pandemic shut it down. Please practice social distancing and follow masking guidelines. If you are unable to attend in person, join via Zoom (link at the end of this article).


For independent authors, writing your story is only a part of your juggling act. First, you identify what you wish to write. Next, you find the time and a writing routine that is sustainable. After that, there’s self-promotion to gain the attention of readers, plus ongoing marketing efforts to sell your books.

Can you simply rely on your computer expertise and the use of social media? Or do you need to establish a speaking schedule?

Perhaps it’s a curious balance of all the above and more? Join us on February 13 when independent author William Hatfield will discuss these methods and more.

Following his talk, Hatfield will be happy to sign a book for you. Check them out on Hatfield’s author page on Amazon.

He was born in a small town in northern Michigan and attended Western Michigan University, obtaining a degree in history and communications. Musical engagements led him to Gainesville, Florida, where he continues to live with his wife Karen and their two feline daughters.

Rumor has it, he may have grown up, but it seems unlikely. Rumor also has it that on the convention circuit, no piano is safe from his inclination to cause spontaneous piano-bar singalongs.

Whether writing science fiction action/adventure or humorous LGBTQ/mysteries based in Key West, he relishes the opportunity to create interesting and challenging characters that never cease to amuse and surprise him with their inherent independence.
