EARLY BIRD ANNOUNCEMENT - PRECONFERENCE JUNE 2005

Writing for Publication: Demystifying the Process - Thursday, June 23, 2005

Do you have a burning desire to write but aren't sure how to begin?  Have 
you ever received a pink slip from an editor and wondered why?  Would you 
like to know what editors look for in a manuscript?  Do you have lots of 
ideas but have difficulty in carving out the time to write?  If you 
answered "yes" to one or more of these questions, this preconference is for 
you!

The morning session will show attendees how to develop an idea, provide 
suggestions on finding time to write as part of a busy schedule, and help 
attendees identify a suitable medium.  In the afternoon, attention will 
center on the details of constructing a publishable piece and on 
understanding one's rights as an author and the workshop will conclude with 
an inspirational address.

Workshop faculty include experienced authors and a publisher: Janet Swan 
Hill, Kathryn Carpenter, Patrick Hogan, Peggy Johnson, Pamela Bluh and 
Sheila Intner.

Please join us on Thursday, June 23, 2005 as we reveal the secrets of 
successful writing and provide valuable and constructive suggestions for 
producing a publishable piece.  Attendance is limited, so to avoid 
disappointment, reserve your place soon.  For additional details see:
