The conference brochure is now available for download at the conference web site.
This announcement starts a fun time of the year when we get to make our
choices for the schedule. To see how well the faculty members fit our
writing interests, the web site is the place to start.
Dig into the descriptions of the three day workshops to find offerings for all levels, emerging writers to advanced.
For intermediate to advanced writers, a Master Class has been added this year. It is titled "Revision for Fiction and Creative Nonfiction." A ten-page manuscript for review prior to admittance to this class is required, plus an additional fee of $100, to be refunded if not admitted. Like the other three day workshops, this class will go from 9:00 A.M. to 11:30 A.M. March 15th is opening date for registration. Class sizes are limited and applications are processed in the order of their postmarked date
Another class for intermediate to advanced memoir writers is Kat Meads' "What's Interesting about Me (to more than me)? Memoir Writing." Sometimes, writing fiction is a spin-off of our experiences, and may benefit from Kat's excellent direction. Participants of her 2007 session "Strategies for Revising, Re-imagining and Improving Your Prose" were treated to her high energy and valuable insights.
Best of all about researching our picks for the schedule, Tony Eppstein's work on the conference site has links to the faculty's bios, their own web sites, and detailed descriptions of the workshops and lectures.
Once we've decided how we'll fill our 'activities card' we can send it all off then start the next project for the writers conference--the writing contests. Entries must be postmarked on or before May 31, 2010 to be considered. Categories are:
