Yesterday
I attended the inaugural event
for the first
writer-in-residence
chosen
from the romance genre
at a Canadian library.
This was a very big honor
and
there was a lot of excitement around it.
So what did the writer-in-residence,
Deborah Cooke,
do?
She shared that honor.
During the question and answer period,
she deferred questions
to other published romance authors
in the audience
(myself included).
It moved the event
from being HER day
to OUR day.
We benefited by being looked to
as experts.
She benefited by communicating
that she has a team of experts
working with her.
Win-Win.
