Barrington Writers' Workshop to host publicist Dana Kaye

Barrington Writers' Workshop will host an authors' workshop titled "Rising above the Din" featuring book publicist Dana Kaye from 9:30 a.m.-noon Saturday, March 21, at The Garlands, 1000 Garlands Lane, Barrington.

Her motto is "Whether you're on the shelves or in the slush pile, Dana Kaye shows you ways to make your book stand out from the rest."

She is the owner of Kaye Publicity, a boutique public relations company specializing in publishing and entertainment. After receiving her B.A. in Fiction Writing from Columbia College Chicago, she worked as a freelance writer and book critic.

Her work has appeared in the Chicago Sun-Times, Time Out Chicago, and others. This experience has been crucial to her publicity career: she has the contacts and necessary industry insight to form pertinent, widespread media campaigns.

Kaye is known for her innovative ideas and knowledge of current trends. She frequently speaks on the topics of social media, branding, and publishing trends, and her commentary has been featured on websites like Huffington Post, Little Pink Book, and NBC Chicago.

Barrington Writers' Workshop (BWW) is celebrating its 37th year of helping local writers improve their craft and connect with other writers and art organizations. Through weekly meetings, the group provides constructive critique on works in progress.

Writers from all genres are welcome. Fee for the workshop is $10 for nonmembers; free for Garland residents.

To register, call Bev Ottaviano, BWW president, at (847) 650-3129. For details, visit barringtonwriters.org.
