Video Registration
IN-PERSON CONNECTION is the goal of the FETE; nonetheless, taking the trip around the globe is difficult for some of our MAPP family. This year we will be recording the Fete and streaming the conference so that all of our MAPP family can stay CONNECTED.

On Nov 3, we decided to refund the registration fees for the video Fete registration since the whole community can see them.

CALL FOR PANEL PARTICIPANTS

From Book Idea to Book Shelf:

Lessons Learned from MAPP's Published Book Authors

Have you authored a book since

graduating from MAPP?

We would like to have published MAPP authors share their successful journey from book idea to bookshelf in a panel discussion on Friday, October 17^th. The panel is inspired by Margaret Greenberg’s (MAPP '06) desire to connect with aspiring MAPP authors to excite, encourage and build their self-efficacy about publishing a book. If you are one of the 40+ book authors in our MAPP alumni community, please join her to share your tips, techniques, and stories of perseverance and achievement.

Published Authors: please contact Margaret Greenberg, with the subject heading “MAPP Author Panel” if you are interested at mappalumnifete@gmail.com by SEPT 15th if you would like to participate.

Aspiring Authors: Feel free to submit questions you have about the writing process, agents, publishers, self-publishing, marketing, whatever to help us organize the panel. Please use the address above and include "Questions for MAPP Author Panel" in the subject line.
