FWA ST. PETE APRIL MEETING
FWA presents “Blogging for Beginners” with Lary Crews
Blogs are the new "magazines," but you are in charge of what gets published. Discover an interesting way to promote your work and reach out to an unlimited audience.
Since November 2005, Lary Crews has been employed as an analyst/writer by the Institute for Corporate Productivity [i4cp], formerly known as the Human Resource Institute, in St. Petersburg . His primary subject areas include: Flexible Work Arrangements, Work Ethics, Productivity, Mental Health, Substance Abuse, Retirement Benefits, and Health Promotion and Wellness. Supported by a team of researchers, proofreaders and editors, he and his fellow analysts summarize published business information for large companies, worldwide. Lary and the other analysts are mostly telecommuters, working from their home offices.
He has two blogs at present: A Rational Baby Boomer (www.larycrews.org) and Hand-Drummer (under construction), which addresses his only hobby: playing conga and bongo drums semi-professionally.
From 1983 to 2005, Lary pursued a full-time freelance writing career from Sarasota FL, writing more than 1,000 magazine articles, monthly newspaper and magazine columns and four published books. He wrote a regular humor column for Tampa Bay Magazine, articles for a dozen other magazines and newspapers and was also a Staff Writer for Sarasotan Quarterly and the Florida Business Journal.
Mark your calendar for Thursday, April 12 at the St. Petersburg Main Library, 3745 Ninth Ave. North, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
The meeting is free and open to the public. Arrive by 6:30 to meet other writers and to network.
