Have you ever wondered how to start a blog? How to keep it alive? What to write about? What makes a blog “successful”?
At the October convention, Kansas Authors Club District 5 will host a seminar with a panel of successful bloggers. Each panelist is invited to share their personal blogging story, focusing on what makes a blog attractive to followers. After their short presentations, class attendees will be able to ask questions and receive thoughtful answers from the experts.
Panelists include:
Nancy Julien Kopp writes creative nonfiction, poetry, children’s fiction and articles on writing. She has been published 22 times in Chicken Soup for the Soul books and other anthologies as well as magazines and newspapers. She has blogged for ten years about her writing world with tips and encouragement for writers. www.writergrannysworld.blogspot.com
Joy Hathaway Lenz blogs at www.writejoywrite.blogspot.com
Joy is a mother, teacher, and writer in Winfield, Kansas. She blogs about nature, politics, faith, and family. She especially enjoys writing poetry and essays, often illustrated with her own photography.
Jim Potter (www.jimpotterauthor.com) writes memoir, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and articles on writing. He’s published Taking Back the Bullet, a contemporary novel; Cop in the Classroom, a police memoir; and Under the Radar, an award-winning play. Potter writes and records a weekly blog/podcast at jimpotterauthor.com. His subjects include writing, history, bios, and book reviews. His specialty is interviewing. Jim lives outside Hutchinson with his sculptor wife, Alex, where they grow sandburs, raise grasshoppers, and create art.
Sara Severance Weinert blogs at emptynestfeathers.blogspot.com
Regarding her blog she writes:
What does a mommy blogger do if she missed the mommy-blogging avalanche of the last century? She writes about the empty nest. MomQueenBee (Sara Severance Weinert) prattles about readjusting to life without four sons in the House on the Corner, and has opinions on many things. She tries to be amusing. (editor note: And often succeeds to the delight of her readers!)
If you have questions about how to manage a blog, you won’t want to miss this panel.

Wow! I continue to be surprised at the amount of planning that has gone into the Kansas Authors Club 2019 convention in Wichita. Just amazing! And these articles about the upcoming convention if collected could make a book–or at least a workshop. This blogger panel sounds really interesting. I’m sure I’ll learn a lot.
You think so? Since you are one of the teachers! The best way to learn is to try to teach someone else. Thanks for your comment.
