SUMMARY:U.P. Notable with Carol Schultz and the Story of Journey the Great Horned Owl
DESCRIPTION:UP Notable Book Club: The Crystal Falls Community District Library in partnership with the U.P. Publishers & Authors Association (UPPAA) has scheduled author events with winners of the UP Notable Book List. The 51st event features Carol Schultz\, the author of several beautifully illustrated children’s books about animals\, both fiction and non-fiction. The Story of Journey: The Great Horned Owl follows the amazing true-life story of how a little Great Horned Owl was rescued and became a beacon of learning and conservation for a whole generation of children in Upper Michigan. Special guest Phyllis Carlson\, the wildlife rehabilitator who worked with Journey for two decades\, will provide additional background. \nWhen: Thursday\, October 9\, 2025 at 7 pm Eastern / 6 pm Central\nWhere: on the Zoom platform — please contact Evelyn Gathu in advance at egathu@crystalfallslibrary.org\, or by phone at (906) 875-3344. We recommend you borrow a copy of these books from your local library or purchase them from your local bookseller in advance to get the most out of these events. \nCAROL L. SCHULTZ  grew up in the beautiful Upper Peninsula\, where she was the middle of 6 children in her family. In a neighborhood full of kids\, there was always someone to spend time with outdoors. After marrying\, raising children\, and working outside of the home\, she retired and found the time to write and paint (almost) as much as she would like to. She is a self-taught artist and author of children’s books. Her nature-inspired children’s books gave her the outlet to write and illustrate the wonderful area in which we live. The beauty of the Upper Peninsula and Northern Wisconsin\, with its abundant wildlife\, wooded areas\, and multiple lakes and rivers\, has always been an inspiration for her work. Winter is her time of year to create my artwork\, with the summers spent outdoors as much as possible. It is her fondest hope that readers will enjoy her work and that it will inspire them to create their own.   \n“The Story of Journey\, an informative picture book is great for the older end of the picture book range. It is great for kids who can listen to a little more detailed text and older elementary children who are already reading. The author did her research well and had input from an actual wildlife rehabilitator\, which adds to the authority in the message. This reviewer was intrigued by the fact that baby owls roam the branches of the tree in which their nest is before they learn to fly. Relating this to a time frame—the fact that they are “branchers” in June and fly in July—helps readers understand how much longer owl parents work than some other types of birds. \nThe illustrations are also well researched for accuracy\, adding as much to the information as the text. This reviewer especially liked the illustration of a rehabilitator’s gloved hand\, and the straps used to secure a young owl while it is being held by a human. The pages about owl facts after Journey’s story were equally informative. Detailed illustrations and descriptions of an owl’s wings\, talons\, and hearing add much to any reader’s knowledge. Knowing hat owls can hear a mouse under the snow up to one-half mile away made this reviewer (who wears hearing aids) green with envy. We wish this author much luck and encourage schools\, libraries\, and parents to search for copies.” \n— Deborah K. Frontiera\, for UP Book Review \nMore information about the U.P.

SUMMARY:David Wogahn: Creating a Book Launch Timeline
DESCRIPTION:David Wogahn: Creating a Book Launch Timeline (Oct. 14\, 7:00PM Eastern/ 6:00PM Central))Too many authors treat book marketing as an afterthought—but according to David Wogahn\, it should be baked in from the start. In this session\, Wogahn shares his proven Countdown to Book Launch® Timeline\, designed to maximize visibility and sales during a book’s critical launch window. \nWith more than 400 books published through his company\, AuthorImprints\, Wogahn breaks down when and how to reach out to influencers\, manage pre-orders through Amazon KDP and IngramSpark\, and conduct comparative market research to improve positioning. Attendees will leave with a ready-to-use launch template that can be adapted to any genre or publishing goal. \nWogahn\, author of six books and an early instructor for LinkedIn Learning’s self-publishing course\, brings 14 years of hands-on industry experience to the table. \nFor an invitiation to attend this free Zoom webinar\, please contact president@uppaa.org
