Networking Works

Networking works, but you never know when or how it will. Last night I spoke at a library. After my talk, an audience member told me that she'd visited my website due to pre-talk posters she'd seen. She noticed that I do writing workshops. Would I be willing to do one there?
Of course, I said I would.
She went right to the librarian and made her request. The librarian approached me and set up a tentative time for the workshop.
The library had also asked a local bookstore to handle book sales. After the talk, the bookseller asked if I would do a pre-Christmas event at her store.
Of course, I said I would.
I was also able to tell the audience about a craft show I would be attending in the area where I will demonstrate Tudor clothing (and sell books, of course).
One event: three branches, each different but each likely to help both sales and the all-important name recognition that authors need.
