I reviewed four articles in may by an author who attended the Balticon (Baltimore Science Fiction Convention), which got me to thinking about writing conferences, conventions, and workshops. As I read those articles, I realized that I have been missing educational and networking opportunities by not attending any of these conventions. When I encountered these opportunities, I had, or thought I had, good reasons for not attending. Looking back at the reason I did not attend, I realize that all I had to do was make a little more effort and make a few sacrifices. I am placing one of those articles in the Editor's Pick section. I encourage any who has not attend a conference go to the author's portfolio and read all four of those articles.
Reasons to attend end a writer's convention or conference?
1. It is an educational experience because you receive information about plotting, characters, description, etc.
2. Network with editors, publishers, and other authors.
3. You have a chance to interact with other authors through question and answer sessions.
4. You grow as a writer.
If you are looking for a writer's conference in your area, but you do not belong to a writer's group then do an Internet search for "Writers Conference your city". This should give you the information you want. You can also search Facebook or Twitter for a writers conference. If anyone has information about this subject that you would like to share, please submit it to this newsletter.

brom21  writer: The stress on weather piqued my interest. I love the natural beauty and awe of things like storms with dark rumbling thunder and lightning or perhaps a peaceful serenade on a snowy day. I will try to hash out a story like you requested. Thanks for the newsletter and may your days be bright and sunny day or dark and rainy if you are like me. Kudos! |
