About this meetup:

After a 35+-year career in education (Pre-K – 14), collaborative sales, and sales management and marketing, I started my first writing and editing business, Writing It Right For You, in July of 2008; expanding to my second, Detroit Ink Publishing, in 2012, and my third, Your Business Your Brand Creatively, in 2014. Through my three companies, my clients learn that "It Matters How You Say It"! I work with solo professionals, creative freelancers, and businesses and corporations throughout the United States, Canada, and twelve other countries on a variety of writing, editing, publishing, and marketing projects. I am opening a satellite office in Birmingham, England.

I provide writing, editing, web design and maintenance, publishing, and social media marketing services for our clients of all sizes and in all niches, and I specialize in working with creative freelancers on branding and marketing their art and their businesses.

I have Bachelor's Degrees in Special Education/Education and Sociology and a Master's Degrees in English/Language Arts, Curriculum Development, and Psychology. I also have a Reading Specialist Certification from the State of Michigan and several business licenses.

Halfway to @313Libraries via @kimberkoz #michlit June 9th Benefit for Literacy in #Detroit. #MotownWriters Please support...

Greetings, Friends of Detroit Little Libraries.

Thanks to your support and many partners, we have reached the halfway point to planting 313 little libraries in Detroit!

To mark the occasion and continue momentum, we are gathering to celebrate and raise funds on Thursday, June 9, from 5:30-9 p.m. at the Tangent Gallery, 715 Milwaukee Ave., in Detroit's New Center area. 

Please join us at Viva Libris! A Night for Detroit Little Libraries, where we'll have delicious hors d'oeuvres and three musical acts to enjoy including the legendary jazz musician Jahra Michelle McKinney, 18-year-old songstress Mia Green and the fabled Exhaust Tones.

During the evening, patrons will have an opportunity to sponsor a Little Free Library - including one of the 13 very special libraries that were transformed by local artists --  on display most recently at the Mobile Homestead at the Museum of Contemporary Art and soon to be planted in the community.

We'll also offer a Detroit-themed silent auction which will feature a night's stay at the Inn on Ferry Street  a package for two at Westin Book Cadillac Detroit; a tour for 20 and 1-year membership with Pewabic; a Detroit Library with books by local authors; a Detroit History Tour, gift cards to several local restaurants, tickets to sporting events, family passes to the State Fair, massages, bottles of wine, Detroit jewelry, doggie day care, yoga with kitties, local chocolates, flowers and of course homemade ice cream!

Local merchants generously donated these items so we can raise funds to build more Little Free Libraries in Detroit! 

Our work over the last 18 months has prompted the city of Detroit to begin working the little libraries into 40 parks slated for renovation over the next 18 months - where residents said they wanted them in their neighborhoods. Meanwhile, communities such as Romeo, Rochester Hills, Grosse Pointe and Pleasant Ridge are putting them in neighborhoods, too.

We live in an era when most of us are distracted by smart phones and tablets. But we believe the planting of 150 little libraries in Detroit with our partners has renewed interest in reading, and build community.

Another important reason we keep planting little libraries in Detroit: There's only one book for every 37 preschool children in Hamtramck, and one for every five children in Detroit's University District neighborhood, according to a recent academic study by a former University of Michigan professor.

Meanwhile, many Detroit schools no longer have libraries and some public libraries have shuttered or scaled back hours. Additionally, transportation and financial issues can hinder residents' access to reading materials.

Please help us bring more Little Free Libraries to Detroit so we can bring more books to neighborhoods.

Until then, Viva Libris!

Let's Read the News! via @literarydetroit May 24th #TechTown #Detroit [event] #MichLit

Here’s your chance to widen your outlook on the world and deepen the public conversation! Join us for Let’s Read the News: a lunchtime gathering of engaged citizens and journalists who gather around a common table for a lively discussion on the stories that matter to our lives. Our next topic of discussion: State of Emergency in Detroit. Detroit Public Schools has been under state-appointed emergency management for seven years. A wave of "sick-outs" has demonstrated the frustration of teachers working in schools that remain in crisis. What does this mean for the city's young people, workers, and their families? How does this fit into the context of historical battles for "power to the people" in Detroit -- stretching back to 1967 and beyond? Reporters CHASTITY PRATT DAWSEY and BILL MCGRAW will join us for this discussion. Both are veterans of the Detroit Free Press and are now at Bridge Magazine. Think of Let's Read the News as a “news club”—a journalistic variation on a book club. We'll read articles on a common theme before we meet up. Links to the stories for our May 24 gathering are below.  From that foundation, we’ll have a discussion while we eat a catered meal. The featured journalists will bring important background to the conversation, but this is not a panel conversation. At Let’s Read the News, every voice matters. We cap public attendance at 12 to ensure that you can contribute, or sit back and take it in, as you wish. We will gather on TUESDAY, May 24, 12:30pm to 1:30pm, in a reserved room in TechTown. Check in at the front desk when you arrive and tell them you're here for "Let's Read the News" Parking is free in the lot next door. Your registration fee covers your lunch from Alley Taco (meat and veggie options), including beverages. SEATING IS LIMITED. Get your $5 ticket now! Know that we will begin promptly at 12:30 pm, in respect for everyone’s daytime schedules, so please plan accordingly. Let’s Read the News is a collaboration of the Columbia Journalism Review the Institute for Nonprofit News, Bridge Magazine, and Literary Detroit.
