I hear that attendance at writers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 conferences and seminars is down. I certainly didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t see evidence of that at the San Diego State University Writers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Conference in January. And this is a 3-day intensive event. However, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m told that, when the economy goes down, one thing that hopeful authors tend to neglect is their future in publishing. They put their dreams on hold. They hesitate spending money for education\/information that will help them to successfully publish their books. And this is a shame.<\/p>\n
News Flash! You and your future are important. And not all writers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 events are costly.<\/p>\n
If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re anywhere near Atlanta <\/strong>or Nashville<\/strong> this month, there are two opportunities you really must pursue. The Spring Book Show at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta<\/strong> is presenting a series of workshops and several major seminars for authors and hopeful authors March 28-30. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll learn from the likes of Peter Bowerman, Bobbie Christmas and me\u00e2\u20ac\u201dPatricia Fry (career writer\/author and 30+ year veteran in the writing\/publishing trenches). <\/p>\n And the beauty of this event\u00e2\u20ac\u201dit is soooo reasonable. For only $70, you can spend a day listening to speakers and participating in seminars as well as perusing aisles and aisles of books for sale. ($85 at the door). Or sign up for the entire two day program for $120 ($140 at the door). <\/p>\n
