Yes, we’re over twenty years old and don’t look a day over a year.
We’re still growing and shaping into an organization that will help writers birth books long into another score.
But we need your help and with our large membership, we’re asking for only a dollar to help our network stay above water.
thanks in advance and we hope to share, help and support for years to come.

You would probably be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn’t like free stuff.
You probably never banked on being able to use that to your advantage as an entrepreneur. Check this out…
You can use free stuff to drive traffic and raving fans to your paid content. People do it all the time, and not just with books. Most of us have watched a YouTube video with those magical links in the description, right?
It’s a full-on business model, and this book will show you how to do it with a book that’s free forever in the Amazon marketplace.
In short, you will learn how to create a book and list it for free on Amazon that drives traffic to pretty much anything you want. We’ll focus on building an email list, though, since that’s pretty much Online Business 101.
If you’re ready to start your online side hustle, you’ve landed in the right spot.
What You Will Learn:
Welcome to square one! This book doesn’t promise you riches. It helps you build a foundation on which you can create a long-term, sustainable business.

Every writer needs a digital notepad, but every writer is also a reader and always needs a book to carry with them.
How about a 2 and 1 device that charges fast and they can take anywhere?
I love the size of these and how I can keep track of my pen with the magnetic holder on the side. It was also easy to set up. Once you log into your account, your entire library is available, and all your documents are on your account as well.
It also can turn your writing into text!

Company Description: A marketing tool and community of authors that work together to find reviewers, build mailing lists, increase sales, and stay on top of deadlines

Books are important. We could go on and on about how important reading is important.
But we thought we’d show in other ways how important this is. Instead, we decided to show a video since you like that.
So pick up a book this month. Get your friends to pick up a book and get your family to pick up a book
Can’t Decide?
Just read a book and then come back and let us know what you read. Do a review and send the author a note of thanks for making good (or bad) reading possible.
Thanks

Everyone has a story. On March 14, National Write Your Story Day challenges you to tell your story in written form.
You may think to yourself, “There’s nothing in my life to tell.” It will surprise you once you put pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard and the words start filling the pages. Words have a way of triggering memories. They form a moment in time, and before you know it, there’s a story flowing from your fingertips. Even if you never share your tale, it can be an essence of who you are and where you’ve been.
Trips down memory lane or recreating the moment when a spark of inspiration occurred, are more intriguing than you know. Today, they fill blogs, inspire novels and entire television series. More importantly, they are treasures to family and loved ones.
National Write Your Story Day encourages us to start telling our personal story today. There’s a story worth recounting in there somewhere!
HOW TO OBSERVE
Commit to writing your story. Grab pen and paper or your favorite electronic device and begin typing away. We all have a story to tell. Use #WriteYourStoryDay to share on social media.

Hello Motown Writers Members
Your founder, author, and literary digital strategist, Sylvia Hubbard, is here to introduce myself to the new and re-familiarize with the older members.

First and foremost, thank you for being a part of this literary journey. It started in 2000 as an online organization that provided information for writers on writing, publishing, and marketing their books and introduced authors in Michigan to readers.
In 2004, we started to meet online with our first-ever conference. Afterward, we’d meet every second Saturday in the bookstore and then move to the main library. Give me some love in the comments if you were a part of our offline meetings. We kept up the conference until 2014, yet as other literary conferences started popping up in Metro Detroit, we decided to help and assist other organizations in bringing more literacy and literary education all over the state of Michigan to the masses. We still kept up our 2nd Saturdays – even when a pandemic hit, except we moved back online where we have our meetings in our Facebook groups.

Now, as an organization with thousands on the mailing list and building a paid membership program, I salute you all for your help in getting us this far. It has always been the members of this group who have carried us thus far.
To find out more about member benefits and join our mailing list, please go here:

This is also where you can become a premium member and get access to the VIP page.
We still adhere to our motto and encourage everyone to share their literary challenges and successes in our discussion group.
I’m proud to have writers, readers, librarians, book lovers, authors, and literary organizations all inside the network, sharing information and having the love of words deep inside their hearts.
I’m an author who started with one book, Dreams of Reality, in 2000. I’ve written and published over 60 stories, with so much more to come. I used to edit and publish other authors, but now I focus on myself, the Motown Writers, and the Michigan Literary Network. Keeping myself sane and the organization afloat is just enough.
I’m always available to come to your event to speak, keynote or do a workshop. Just contact me
I write romance suspense, and to find more about my books, please go to:
Here are my current WIPs, published and about to be releases for the 2023-2024 year (but there’s still more to come)
