Virginia Writers’ Club Symposium: Navigating Your Writing Life

The Virginia Writers’ Club Symposium is upon us. This coming Saturday, August 4, the VWC will convene at the Piedmont Virginia Community College in Charlottesville for the 2nd Annual Symposium. It looks like a very good program–other than me, of course.

There are 2 sessions in the morning and 1 in the afternoon–you pick from among 3 choices for each time slot–plus the keynote address by Charles Shields, the author of two wonderful biographies, Mockingbird (about Harper Lee) and So it Goes (about Kurt Vonnegut).

Plus, there will be time to socialize with the other participants, network, buy the books of the presenters, and generally have a good time.

THE REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS MONDAY, JULY 30 — so don’t delay!
