Use the Book You Didn't Know You'd Written to Market Your Skills
Tuesday, July 14 at 5 p.m.
National-Louis University, Room 5008
122 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago

Don't think you can write a book? Two-time IWOC president Jim Kepler says you probably already have, and don't even know it! He'll explain how to work material you've already created into a book, how to sell it, and where to go from there. Networking with refreshments begins at 5 p.m., the discussion at 6, and a buy-your-own-dinner networking event will follow the program at a nearby restaurant. Free for IWOC members; $15 for nonmembers. For details, visit IWOC's Web site.
