Poet Sue Ellson's Three Poetry Books Launch
Join us for a welcoming, authentic and friendly in-person launch of three new poetry books by Melbourne poet and author Sue Ellson that has taken 10 years to percolate and several months to make! Of course there had to be a coffee reference when the launch is in Melbourne!
Sue has already hosted book launches for her five non-fiction books on the topics of LinkedIn, careers, business, hyper local marketing and gigsters, so this launch is for Sue's sixth, seventh and eighth independently published books (with the advice and support of an author advisor)!
Hosted in the Hawthorn Arts Centre Community Arts Space with live music and fabulous city views, this event invites you into a world where words bring fun and meaning into your life and everyone can feel safe and respected.
🌿 What's Included? - Live Music, Poetry Readings, Interview, Questions and Answers
Sue Ellson has published over 170 poems on her sueellson.com website and she is seeking your encouragement and support for her first three poetry books.
You will enjoy:
✅ Live Music with Sebastian Immaraj, a blues rock pianist, guitarist and vocalist
✅ Light refreshments
✅ Personalised book-signing — your ticket includes one, two or three author-signed books inscribed with a message that you choose when you purchase your ticket
✅ Special guest readings of selected poems from all three books
✅ Audience questions and answers
✅ Taking photos with your new book you can share online
