HARBERT — Center of the World Woodshop in Harbert, Michigan, has issued an open invitation to local authors to participate in its fourth annual Author! Author! Reception & Readings from 4 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, April 25.

Any authors who have not participated before, or who have previously participated but have a new book to share, are invited to take part.

This year’s readings and presentations will be given by poet, S.M. Kozubek, and award-winning children’s author, Cheri L. Hallwood. A haiku workshop will be offered earlier in the day, and a haiku contest will enliven the Author! Author! event.

There is no charge for participation. The organizer asks only that authors mingle with visitors and sign books. Authors will handle their own sales and keep all proceeds from those sales.

Any authors who are interested in participating should contact Lorraine at 269-469-5687 or info@centeroftheworld.net. Space is limited, so preference will be given to those who register early.
