Add Literary Event
Events are displayed on the ICB Web site in the order in which they are
added to the site, not by the date that they will occur. One question
on the form is asking for the "Effective Date". This is asking what
date you want information about your event to appear on the Web site.
We recommend that the "Effective Date" be approximately two weeks
before the event. That way information about your event will display on
the front page of the ICB Web site with maximum exposure close to the
event and when it moves to the "Literary Events" display it will be
close to the top of the list when the event occurs.
A second question asks for the "Event Ends" date. If your event takes
place on a single day that is the date you would fill in. If the event
will continue over a series of days or a longer period of time, provide
the last date of the event.
Neither of these dates will display on the Web site. They are for our use in managing this part of the Web site.
The information you enter about your literary event will be reviewed before it appears on the Web site. Every effort is made to check for new events Monday through Friday.
If you have questions about adding a literary event, send an email
to the Coordinator of the Iowa Center for the Book. To correct
information about an event already added to the Web site, send the
Coordinator an email with the changes that need to be made.
