Local Authors to hold Signing Event
Rhode Island author / artists showcased

(Warwick, Rhode Island, USA)  Seventeen “first time published” Rhode Island authors will be appearing with award winning movie director/producer and publisher Jonathan Raben at one big signing event on  Friday Evening, October 19th.in Warwick, RI.


This unique event for local published authors from throughout Rhode Island has been promoted by the authors themselves these past few weeks to get a possible step up in the local artists’ community and even the broader publishing world.


“This is more than just signing and selling some books,” declared Melissa Chiavaroli, Community Relations Manager for event sponsor Barnes & Noble in Warwick.  “We are shining our spotlight on local talent whose first time published works might go unnoticed.  A book signing event on this scale gives each author a unique opportunity to invite prospective publishers, agents, publicists, movie producers and even friends or relatives and make them aware of their achievement and their potential for future works.”


”People who may have thought about writing a book or making a movie can benefit from talking to and learning from these published authors who have made their first big step.” Chiavaroli said.  “These authors/artists recently made it into publication or film, and can easily remember and relate the pitfalls of getting to that first plateau.  Where else can you get this kind of personal first-hand and up-to-date information?”

“For example, Jonathan Raben’s film Italian Americans and Federal Hill and book has been very successful locally,” Chiavaroli said.  “He will be here to discuss the making of his movie and also his plans for yet another!  He’ll also be giving away movie posters and signing some as well.  Those attending can benefit from his experience.”


Local first-time published authors who will be signing books, answering questions and promoting general discussion include Rhonda Alarie, Jeanne Archambeault, Henry D. Astarjian M.D., Ed Beard, Marc Blevins, Joan Creamer, Jeanne Dumas, Israel Helms, Dr. Billy Johnson, Horst Maurer, Barbara Morrison, Eva Pasco, Mike Pescione, Les Rolston, Ken Ryan Sr., Dee Dee Serpas, & CJ West.  Their works range from mystery and romance to health and current affairs.


The event will be held at Barnes & Noble Booksellers, 1350B Bald Hill Road in Warwick, Rhode Island on Friday, October 19th from 7pm to 9pm.  Admission is free.
