Publisher Shares a Don’t Miss Opportunity

I am publishing a note I received in its entirety because of the resources it offers, but also because it leads with a personal note—something I have long recommended but seldom see. What else is here that practically assures it will be remembered if not used by the recipient? Here it is: 

“There's a no-cost webinar coming up for those who would like contribute articles to the Historical Society of Michigan publications.  This includes Michigan History Magazine (now in its 103rd year of publication) as well as Chronicle (for HSM's 5000  members only). 

Seminar to be held on June 18th at 10:00am.  Registration at no cost here http://hsmichigan.org/programs/michigan-history-alliance

“If you've never been published, magazine writing is a great way to build your connections and visibility.

“If you have already published a book, magazine bylines are a great way to keep promoting.  I know Carolyn Howard-Johnson would agree with me on this.

“Regards

Victor (Publisher, Modern History Press)”
