Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

At least 260 people attend author presentations by six writers. This attendance goal represents only a 15% increase from 2017 attendance. 75% of attendee respondents will indicate yes or definitely in response to the question: Would you be more likely to read/search out books by Minnesota writers as a result of this programming? (Scale: definitely not - no - neutral - yes -definitely.) Anticipated outcomes will be evaluated through audience/participant count and demographics, audience/participant surveys, and follow-up artist surveys. One potential questions: How likely will your exposure to these literary presentations lead to additional participation at other literary events? (Scale 1-5.)

Measurable Outcome(s)

268 people attended the series with 6 different artists. Surveys showed that 100% of respondents were introduced to new authors. 91.67% indicated that they are likely or very likely to search for books by Minnesota writers as a result of attending these programs and 100% said it was likely or very likely that exposure to this series will lead to additional participation at other literary events.
