>James River Writers Conference

>

The James River Writers Conference is now open for registration. The conference is October 8 & 9 and will be at the Library of Virginia in Richmond. This year the conference also features workshops on the afternoon of Thursday, October 7. I’ll be giving one of those workshops and I’ll also be on panels on Friday and Saturday.

This is a terrific, intimate conference, and I urge interested writers to sign up early–it always sells out. It’s fun, it’s informative, and it’s also a great way to help build your network.
