Dear [FIRSTNAME],

NCW Classes are underway and we are excited to have Laura Pritchett back teaching her popular workshop, The Art Of Personal Essay, this Saturday (1/28/12) from 9:00-12:00. Over the course of the next couple of months, we are offering classes on a variety of topics from marketing to humor writing. 

In addition to the classes, the 2012 Northern Colorado Writers Conference is right around the corner on March 30-31 in Fort Collins. I am flying in agents/editors from both coasts, there will be sessions taught by agents, authors, editors and other professionals in the industry, and my creative teams plans to make this a conference you won't forget. 

I hope to see you soon at a class or at the conference. 

Happy Writing!

Kerrie 
NCW Director
