Teresa LeYung-Ryan will be the guest speaker at the next monthly meeting of the California Writers Club Tri-Valley Branch on Saturday, June 21, at the Four Points by Sheraton, 5115 Hopyard, Pleasanton.

Teresa LeYung-Ryan is a writing coach and author. She helps writers of all genres create their “platform statements” and shows them how to broadcast to attract agents, publishers, the media, and fans. Building your platform is especially crucial these days because so many talented writers are publishing and promoting their books, trying to compete with best-selling authors and celebrity authors.

Teresa is the author of Build Your Writer’s Platform & Fanbase In 22 Days: Attract Agents, Editors, Publishers, Readers, and Media Attention NOW, a workbook for anyone who has anything to promote. Her first novel Love Made of Heart  is used in college composition classes and women’s studies classes; available at public libraries; recommended by the CA School Library Association and the CA Reading Association; and archived at the San Francisco History Center.
