Rik Feeney, author, publisher and self-publishing consultant, spoke at the February meeting of the Children's Book Writers group in Jacksonville, sharing information and videos on new technology-driven publishing options for 2012. The author of more than 48 books including "Writing Books for Fun, Fame and Fortune" who has more than 20 years experience in the publishing industry shared information including the fact that holograms will be part of the reading and publishing experience within the next few years.

"Characters will appear to jump up from the book and speak to us, and three-dimensional images of a cake will appear along with the recipe in a cookbook," said Frances Keiser of St. Augustine, one of the leaders of the newly formed group. "Because the industry is going through an era of rapid change, it's important that writers realize what the future is bringing to publishing."

The Children's Book Writers group consists of aspiring authors as well as published authors from throughout Northeast Florida, who meet at the Southeast Regional Library in Jacksonville.

Writers and illustrators from St. Johns, Duval, Clay, Flagler and Nassau counties and beyond attend the monthly meetings that are free and open to the public. Guest speakers and panel discussions are offered each month to help authors understand the many aspects of publishing and marketing a book.

Graphic designers will speak on "Book Covers, Logos and Layout" at the next meeting at 6:30 p.m. Monday at the Southeast Regional Library at10599 Deerwood Park Blvd., Jacksonville.
