Pre-conference Workshop

Our pre-conference workshop will be conducted on Thursday, July 14th in the business center of The Orleans. It begins at 900 am and runs until 300 pm.

It features specialized instructive sessions by three published authors, Marilyn Meredith, Kelli Peacock, and Michael A. Black. The topics covered will be How to Write Realistic Dialogue, the Muddle of the Middle, and Techniques for Self-Editing. It also offers a chance to have up to 30 pages of your manuscript critiqued by one of the instructors, all three of whom have worked as professional editors, in a one-on-one meeting.

There is an additional fee of $45 to attend the workshop, but it’s gotten rave reviews in the past by all who’ve attended.

Sign up for the conference today, and don’t forget to check the special box on the registration form if you wish to attend the workshop.
