LOOK FOR Orientation Meetings. You will sit with other new SBW members and an officer of the branch for about an hour and one half at some cozy coffee and book place to discuss the clubs offerings — what the Club can do for you, and how and when it does it.

“WHY AM I WRITING”
Conference Theme
Our 2010 conference will feature several instructional tracks dealing with motivation and muse right through to today’s publication opportunities. We will again host Agents who will entertain your “pitch,” and professional editors who will review, analyze and advise on your writing. There will be contests and readings, live music, restful corners and refreshment, keynote speakers, and great food — with opportunities for networking and of course, the ever-present “more.”

You will meet and work with folks who will ease your perspective into new territory and turn your head toward immediate inroads into the writing and publishing world — otherwise longer in coming.
Contact Bill Belew or Dave LaRoche if interested in participating.
