During the 2008 5th Annual Essence of Motown Literary Jam, many authors, organizations and publishers are having their events coincide with the conference. For instance: 1. Raising Donations for Journals and AA children books for Detroit Public School Children The Motown Literary Network is calling for readers and writers to help. Our focus is to help Metro Detroit schools with supplies and much needed supplies that teachers are asking for. From October through November we are giving part of the proceeds that are giving to our literary conference on November 6 through 9th (http://essenceofmotown.com) to assist different schools with different needs. For Example, check out Carlton Middle School’s page: http://www.donorschoo se.org/donors/proposal.html?id=188036&verify=- 2142389663&zone=212 Help us Give! Be apart apart of the solution to better our literary community! 2. Book Release for Authors Access: 28 Success Secrets for Authors and Publishers Our new book will be officially launched at the 5th Annual Essence of Motown Literary Jam Weekend (Nov. 6-9, 2008) in Detroit, Michigan (http://essenceof motown.com/) As a special thank-you to everyone who comes out for this event, we’ll include a FREE best-of-Authors Access CD-ROM jam-packed with MP3 files from all our shows for each person who buys a book at this event. http://authorsaccess.com/success- secrets
