CONFERENCE REGISTRATION is Now Open!

square_conference_headerRobert Frost wrote, "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, And that made all the difference." And that is what the theme of the 2012 conference is all about: Take the Road Less Traveled. Take risks with your writing; find that path that is unique to you. Writing is an adventure with lots of ups and downs and forks in the road, but in the end, it is a journey to be enjoyed.

Upcoming Class

THE ART OF PERSONAL ESSAY
Instructor: Laura Pritchett Pd.D.
Saturday January 28, 9:00-12:00

REGISTER

laura_pritchett_bwWant to write and submit a personal essay to a magazines or journals? This workshop is designed to focus on the essentials of turning personal experience into compelling narrative – and readying it for submission. We’ll be concentrating on how to 1) tell through the use of story and 2) make that story have “universality” (as in, how to make it matter to others). We will also be discussing nonfiction fundamentals: the central dramatic questions and themes, how to craft scenes, ways to build tension, and the ever-tricky business of pacing through the balanced use of showing and telling.

Upcoming Class

People used to say that if you built a better mousetrap, customers would flock to your store. Those days are over…. build a better mousetrap, sure…. but don't expect word of mouth, or even word of mouse, to get visitors to come to your website. You have to be findable first

Laurie, aka the Google Guru, will tell us about ways to be found on line - whether that's Search Engine Optimization *SEO* or Pay Per Click *PPC* or Article Marketing or Local Listings or Social Media - hear it from the woman who runs Blue Skies Marketing, a 10 year old company whose tagline has always been "Be Found and Be Profound!"
