Lupton-Sponsored
Foundation and UTC Present Free Book Publishing Seminar To Aspiring Writers
Books For Life Foundation, a not-for-profit literary arts organization
dedicated to educating aspiring authors and poets about the book publishing
process, announces a free seminar entitled “How To Become a Published
Author: A to Z” in the Raccoon Mountain Room on the University
of Tennessee at Chattanooga campus. The two-hour seminar will be held
Monday, September 29 from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. Speaking will be Mark
Shaw, creative director of the Foundation and the author of 12 published
books, including Book Report, Publishing Strategies, Writing
Tips, and
101 Literary Ideas For Aspiring Authors and Poets.
The seminar is a result of a unique partnership between the UTC and Books
For Life Foundation, whose founding benefactor is Chattanooga-based philanthropist
Jack Lupton. “Mr. Lupton’s blessing has permitted the Foundation
to assist more than 1,000 writers during the past year,” Shaw stated. “We
are proud to co-sponsor a seminar in Chattanooga that will provide education
for so many talented writers in the area.”
Books For Life Foundation, which hosts publishing and writing skills
seminars at libraries, high schools, and corporations, has recently announced
a call for entries for the 2004 $25,000 John T. Lupton “New Voices
In Literature” Awards in honor of Lupton. The awards are part of
a collaboration with Writer’s Digest and BookExpo America. Entries
for the 2003 awards were received from South Africa, Israel, Hungary,
Canada, Mexico, Japan, Hong Kong, and across the United States.
