Communities served (Note: the city/town that your library resides in must have a population of less than 12,000 to qualify for this program):
SPACE: While attendance varies from event to event, the average attendance for a Texas Writes event is between 20-30 people. Does your library have the space to accommodate a group this size (or larger)? If NO, do you have an alternate space nearby that can serve as the venue for this event? What is the total capacity for your library?
SCHEDULING AN EVENT / PREFERRED DAY(S): A Texas Writes event can be held during the week or on the weekend, depending on the host library’s preference (NOTE: We strongly encourage you to consider a Saturday event, but we can accommodate weekday events). Are there certain days of the week that are preferable for you (ex: Tuesday, Saturday), based on your hours of operation, space availability, and when your patrons are most likely to attend?
SPECIFIC DATES: Looking ahead to the upcoming year of Texas Writes programming, do you have specific dates in mind (between September 1, 2023 and May 31, 2024) that you’d like to suggest for an event at your library? (Giving us specific dates now will speed up the process; please do suggest a couple of dates if you can):
TOPICS: If there are specific topics that you’d like to request, or areas of focus that you think would be most beneficial to your patrons and other attendees (for example: memoir writing, family history, mysteries and thrillers, young adult fiction, research, nonfiction) please list them here. We’ll make every effort to book authors who can speak to your preferred topics. If you have no specific topics in mind, leave this blank.
ADVERTISING: The Writers’ League will make every effort to take out advertising in one or more local newspapers to raise awareness for the Texas Writes event. Please list here your top choice/s for print advertising (newspapers in your area or in nearby communities)
REFRESHMENTS: The Writers’ League will provide refreshments (food and drinks) for the event (NOTE: Please indicate here if the library is able to provide brewed coffee for the event). When possible, we try to order food from locally owned businesses. If there is a locally owned business in your area that you’d like to recommend, please mention it here:
