Writer's Conferences - A Good Investment

I'm posting early this week because I'm leaving for a writer's conference in Dallas. I'll be hobnobbing with the rich and famous: editors, authors, agents and publishers.

What fun. What pressure. What a rush! :)

If you've never attended a conference, put it at the very top of your list of things to do. You will never make a better investment in your writing future.

When choosing a conference, look carefully at the faculty. If you write nonfiction, choose a conference that leans heavily in that direction. Go to learn, to network and to make writer friends.

I can't tell you how important it is for you to take control of your writing future. You have to believe in yourself. You must invest in yourself. Classes and conferences will set you on the right path, but you must write, write, write.

Take a look at our classes. Find one that will help you work toward your goals.

Good writing!

The very fact that you have brought a story into existence for which there is no duplication, is in itself a gift to the world deserving of respect.~Elizabeth Lyon, Author of The Sell your Novel Tool Kit

The beautiful part of writing is that you don't have to get it right the first time, unlike, say, a brain surgeon. ~ Robert Cormier
