EARLY BIRD ANNOUNCEMENT - PRECONFERENCE JUNE 2005

Writing for Publication: Demystifying the Process – Thursday, June 23, 2005

Do you have a burning desire to write but aren’t sure how to begin?  Have
you ever received a pink slip from an editor and wondered why?  Would you
like to know what editors look for in a manuscript?  Do you have lots of
ideas but have difficulty in carving out the time to write?  If you
answered “yes” to one or more of these questions, this preconference is for
you!

The morning session will show attendees how to develop an idea, provide
suggestions on finding time to write as part of a busy schedule, and help
attendees identify a suitable medium.  In the afternoon, attention will
center on the details of constructing a publishable piece and on
understanding one’s rights as an author and the workshop will conclude with
an inspirational address.

Workshop faculty include experienced authors and a publisher: Janet Swan
Hill, Kathryn Carpenter, Patrick Hogan, Peggy Johnson, Pamela Bluh and
Sheila Intner.

Please join us on Thursday, June 23, 2005 as we reveal the secrets of
successful writing and provide valuable and constructive suggestions for
producing a publishable piece.  Attendance is limited, so to avoid
disappointment, reserve your place soon.  For additional details see:
