At the Saturday, October 11 meeting of Writers Forum, board members Laura Hernandez and Sharon Owen pool the knowledge they’ve gained from attending a variety of writing conferences. They will offer advice on where to find the best conference fit for a writer’s needs and how to prepare in advance for the most successful outcome.
Laura Hernandez, Writers Forum Director at Large, is a pre-published crime novelist. She attends 2-3 writing conferences a year, even winning scholarships and contests to attend them. She will share her secrets to the advanced planning that leads to that kind of success.
Program Director Sharon Owen will offer tips gleaned from conferences throughout the country over the past several years. Writing as author Sharon St. George, she is currently under contract with Camel Press to publish the first three books in her hospital-based mystery series.
Writers Forum meetings are held on the second Saturday of each month from 10:30am – 12:30pm at All Saints Episcopal Church, located at 2150 Benton Drive Redding, CA.
NOTE: For this date only, the meeting will be held in All Saints’ Eaton Hall West instead of Memorial Hall. Doors open at 10am. Guests attend free for the first two meetings. For information call 547-5303 or visitwww.reddingwritersforum.com.
