In conversation with Eric Weiner
Saturday, June 22 at 1:00 pm
Really looking forward to my in-store Book Passage interview with Eric Weiner about his new book, BEN AND ME.
Eric follows in the footsteps of Benjamin Franklin, mining his life for inspiring and practical lessons in a book part biography, part travelogue, part personal prescription.

Certified Human Potential Coach!
Certified!
In January I began what has proven to be an educational, illuminating, enjoyable and fulfilling journey to becoming a life coach. After much study, weekly live calls, and hours of beta-client sessions, as of today I am a Certified Human Potential Coach!
I have absolutely loved the training. And I am loving the coaching, which brings together so many of my interests and skills, from health and wellness to writing and even podcasting—and more.
It has been an honor and a thrill working with my beta clients, whether on something as big as navigating a major life transition or something as specific as managing stress. There have been tears, there's been laughter; there's been a lot of insight and growth—including for me.
Many thanks to my beta clients—for your trust and faith in me as I put theory into practice—as well as to my cohort spread across the globe, and my friends who have encouraged me along the way.
Now looking forward to launching my practice!
Much more on my new coaching site, lifecoachmatthew.com!

Excited to teach a Lit Camp course on marketing and platform!
Join me Saturday, 4/15 from 2:00 - 5:00 in person at Page Street!
Register now: https://bit.ly/3LZk3gC
While we write first and foremost for the love of writing, most of us also want our work to find its way to readers—and that doesn’t happen on its own.
In this course, I'll share some of the many options available for building our author platforms and marketing ourselves and our books, including ones I use myself and with my clients.
Join us!
