I’ve been re-invited to the 2008 Willamette Writers conference are August 1-3rd at the Portland Airport Sheraton Hotel. You can now register online.
I've been invited to be the Friday luncheon speaker. Here's a schedule of where I'll be when.
I highly recommend this conference and I hope to see you there!
Thursday night, July 31st, Writer's Faire
This is a free event! 5-7 p.m.
Come network with published authors! I'd love to see you at the Writer's Faire!
Friday, August 1st:
Workshop: 10:30-12:00
Your Roadmap to the Non-fiction Book Writing Process
Do you know about book graveyards where editors at publishing houses
bury the books that don't ever see the light of publication? As an
aspiring non-fiction author, you need to be forewarned about these
types of pitfalls. This workshop will serve as the roadmap-in-hand that
you'll need to tread the traditional book-publishing road wisely.
You'll walk out knowing what to expect from the glimmer of an idea all
the way through to your book's publication date. This workshop will
grant you the courage to control the things you can and the wisdom to
let go of the things you can't, so you can focus on writing the best
book possible. Learn about the role of agents and editors, the
non-fiction book publishing process, how to make the best choices for
your book, and how to form win-win-win relationships with the
publishing industry players on your book's team.
Level: All
Format: Presentation, Q & A
Luncheon Speaker: During Lunch 12:15 - 1:30 p.m. Come hungry, leave inspired!
