On Thursday, September 26, the SCBWI and YABS are getting together! This should be a great gathering of children’s writers and illustrators and everyone is invited. We will meet 7:00 – 8:30 pm in the private room at North Pointe Boston Pizza, 388 Country Hills Blvd, Calgary.
Jan Markley will present a workshop she has titled Facebook for the ‘Fraidy Cat. If you want to use Facebook to promote yourself as a writer or illustrator or if you simply want to connect with colleagues, but don’t know how, join us for this interactive session. Jan will answer questions like
- How do I change my profile picture or upload a different picture to Facebook?
- I’ve created a video which is on Youtube, how to I post in on my Facebook status update and share it?
- How do I comment on someone’s Facebook status update?
- Who are all these people and why do they want to be my friend all of a sudden?
- How do I ‘share’ something on Facebook or twitter and why would I do that?
- What’s twitter? What’s a blog?
- I don’t have a website, can I still have a web presence?
If you are intimidated by technology and think WTF means Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, LOL means lots of love and apps are what you eat before a meal, then this workshop is for you. Bring your devices (iPad, iPhone, laptop, etc) and your passwords, we’ll supply the Wi-Fi and Jan will give you some crazy mad social media skillz!
Non-members are always welcome to drop in. If you would like to attend, please send me an email or…. catch up with me on Facebook!
