Writing Wednesday

On Wednesdays I like to share information, stuff I learned on my journey of writing, being published and marketing two (almost 3) books!

Writing Conferences

It’s that exciting time of year again, the time when writers with a dream and writers that are living the dream come together to network, share and most importantly to learn from and support each other. Many years ago when I was dreaming of becoming a writer I attended the Philadelphia Writers Conference. Back then word processors were the ‘new thing.’

Even now with a career in writing and consulting I still look forward to attending. I never want to be that person that stops learning, no matter where I am in my career.

I am really excited this year because I will be faculty! I’m presenting a 3-day-workshop ‘The Good, the Bad, and the Truth of Writing and Selling Memoir’

This year you also have the opportunity to attend several of these workshops: Creating Characters Readers will Love; How to get Published, Storytelling Craft for Journalists, Memoirists & Other Non-fiction Writers, Thrilled to Death, The Good, the Bad, and the Truth of Writing and Selling Memoir, Tempest in a Teacup: Writing the Short Short Story, Screenwriting: Challenging the Odds, Using Fiction to Capture Truth, The Fundamentals of Writing Kid Lit, Non-Fiction: The Newspaper Column as Magical Mystery Tour, Turn Toward Me: Writing Social Commentary in Poetry.

AND most excitingly if you are ready you will have the chance to pitch an agent! I know many writers that were signed as a result of pitching at this conference!

I highly recommend this small, inspiring and educational in a big way conference.
