and now on to the

Events:
1. The 12th Annual Poetry Super Highway Great Poetry Exchange: The mission of the Poetry Super Highway is to expose as many people to as many other people's poetry as possible.

What? - Send a book - Get a book

In February 2013, the Poetry Super Highway will coordinate a great free exchange of poetry publications amongst poets worldwide. It's not a contest. There are no judges, entry fees, winners, or losers.Last year, 78 poets participated both sending their book and receiving another poet's book from another randomly selected participant By agreeing to participate, someone will be exposed to your poetry, and you will be exposed to someone else's poetry.How?

To participate you must volunteer to mail one copy of one poetry book that you have written to one other person participating. Just one book. In exchange, you will receive in the mail one copy of one poetry book written by another participating poet.E-books are not eligible for the Great Poetry Exchange. Your book must be physical entity. Even if it's self published, or one of one that you printed from your computer and stapled together...but please no e-books. (Though we will be repeating our annual Great E-Book Free For All later in the year!)
To Join In:

Go tohttp://poetrysuperhighway.com/psh/great_poetry_exchange/.Make sure you've read all the guidelines and click on "ONLINE SUBMISSION FORM" to enter your book's information! In early March, we will randomly assign the books to each participant and email to you the name and address of the person you are supposed to send your book to.We will also list your book and description on this web page along with the link to your website for all to see. In addition we will list the new books in our weekly e-mailed update which goes out to thousands of people.

What else?

Please note, as the Great Poetry Exchange is open to everyone on planet Earth, it's possible that you will be required to send your book to someone outside of your own country which will, of course, cost you more in postage than it would to send it domestically.

Also, we'll ask that you send us an e-mail in March once your book has actually been sent so we can keep track and make sure that all participants who send a book 

get one.You also must agree to send out your book within 2 weeks of being notified of who to send your book

3.Effective February 6 and each Wednesday thereafter The August Group in cooperation with Medaile College and 4C Choices will offer a special program for students and recent graduates.  Greg Taylor, the Founder of The August Group and 4C Choices will moderate these new sessions.

The Millennial's Challenge :

The challenges faced by college graduates since 2009 have been overwhelming in this economy.  Unemployment rates of graduates with 4 year degrees have ranged from 72-80% within three months of graduation and it improves little over time.  Last spring the Bureau of Labor Statistics cited that 53.6% of those 25 years old and younger with 4 year degrees were either unemployed or in a job requiring no education.  They face student debt that is staggering.

Target Audience

We welcome recent graduates of both college and high school and students in either college or high school.  We encourage you to spread the word about this new program offering of The August Group.

Program Offerings

We will offer networking, training and frequent guest speakers including local career advisors, networked professionals, recruiters and employers.  Job search and career exploration topics will be addressed frequently.  We will provide direction and connections while building skills and confidence.

The Schedule

The scheduling will alternate on a weekly basis.

Luncheon sessions - 1st, 3rd and 5th Wednesdays - 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Evening sessions - 2nd and 4th Wednesdays - 4:00 p.m. to 6.p.m.
For more information, contact Greg Taylor at GTaylor@AugustGroup.org

4. Don’t miss these two events:

Event #1:  The Multi-Million Dollar Poetry Industry

This is an overview of the American Literary Scene!

Covering the 7 markets in which you can Make a living form the $7.3 Billion ( Yes, I said Billion with a B!) poetry industry.( Note: After 8 years in Rochester, NY working to help writers in all genres make a living at what they do, the seminar presenter, Mr. Lawrence R. Berger has concluded that the markets for novelists, journalist,  screenwriters, technical writers and any other genre you want are EXACTLY  the same as they are for poets. As a poet and self –help writer himself, Mr. Berger has chosen to base the information on the poetry Genre for two reasons: 1. After working in this area to make a living since 1999 and paying his bills by working in these same 7 markets, . 2. If he added in every other applicable genre he’s afraid he simply could not count high enough to give an accurate dollar value on the size of the market ( By the end of this seminar you’ll see the breakdown of the 7.1 Billion mentioned earlier.) You’ll also learn:

·         The levels of reputation you’ll need to develop to be “successful” in the 7 markets

·         The two “Poetic orientations” (note: Again this also applies to all other genres. All are welcome!)

·         A little bit more about Mr. Berger than you’ll find on this flyer and how he might help you further.

This presentation will be open to the public! All welcome! Costs: $25 per attendee.  Time:  3-5 P.M.  Date:Saturday, March 16^th 2013 Location: Gallery One Fine Arts, 2575 East Henrietta Road, Rochester, NY 14623(Behind Suburban Liquor, next to the Beers of The World Plaza.)  

 Special bonus for seminar attendees: All paid attendees will receive a copy of an article by Mr. Berger titled: “ Times are Changing.”  It contains the results on the information he gathered when he was told that there was now a law on the books that would make e-books tax exempt in New York State and the opinions he’s formed as a result of doing the research and writing the article. Some attendees may feel that the information in the article is worth the $25 in and of itself so I’ll let you make the choice. You can either pay the $25 for the article and get the seminar free or you can pay the $25 for the seminar and get the article for free. As long as you attend the event I can assure you Mr. Berger won’t notice the difference! See you there! 

5. Event 2: a special ESP READING:

In this case, since we’re inviting all writers in all genres to attend this as well, ESP stands for everybody swaps pages. The way it works is this : all attendees who wish to participate put their writings into a pile ( preferable one page each but for time’s sake please no more than 5 8.5x11 pages stapled together.)   The pile gets shuffled, and the first reader reads the first page(s) off the top, the next the next work down and so on until we’ve gone through the entire pile. The only Rule is: you absolutely cannot read your own work!  If by chance your page(s) happen to be up when it’s your turn, place the work on the bottom of the pile and read the next one down.  Mr. Berger last conducted an ESP reading in Rochester, NY in August of 2011 for the Just Poets Organization and even now two years later people who attended that event are still coming up to him and saying  it was the most fun they’ve ever had at a poetry reading and asking when he plans on doing it again! Some of these poets have been reading professionally for over 30 years and they still say this!Come join us and see what it’s all about!
