Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Scheduled readings, book signings and sales as well as development of a writers' work group.Feedback will be obtained from attendees at the capstone event to determine their response. Number of attendees, comments, book sales and future readings booking inquiries will be documented and reported.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I created a publishing company, created a website, wrote the book over a five-month period, published with soft-launch distribution. Then reviews were posted and book sales began via my website, on amazon, in person, and at several Lanesboro venues.
