A Closer Look: Author Showcase

OAWC members Tom Cannon and Dixie Jarchow host “Author Showcase” on the local public access cable Life TV channel. In each episode, Tom and Dixie sit down with a Wisconsin author and discuss the writing process, publishing, marketing and everything in between!

If you live in Oshkosh and have Spectrum (formerly Time Warner Cable), you can find the show on Channel 2.  A programming schedule can be found at http://www.oshkoshmedia.org/schedules.aspx
