St. Pete Times Searches for Hillsborough Authors
We received the following request from the St. Pete Times. Those interested who are not from the areas requested for Hillsborough County should contact the Tampa office of the St. Pete Times. They are conducting the same thing.
Here is Mr. Bennett's request:
We are looking for local authors who have had books published this year for an upcoming story. Can you point me to any local authors who have had books published in the past 12 months (excluding self-published, works published by so-called "vanity press" publishing houses and Internet-only publishing)?
Our story will be a buying guide about local authors for the holiday book-buying season.
By "local" authors, I mean east Hillsborough: Seffner, Mango, Thonotosassa, Brandon, Riverview, Apollo Beach, Lithia, Ruskin, Palm River and Gibsonton. Authors from Tampa are being handles by someone in our Tampa office.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give, as well as for a timely reply. If you know of anyone else who might be able to help me with this query, feel free to pass this inquiry along to them.
Cordially,
Doug Bennett
