10/02/2010 - Mid-Atlantic Writers Conferenc
Sheraton Conference Center in Dover, Delaware - Space is limited and available on a first come, first served basis. Presented by Delmarva Discussions and supported by Kent County Tourism and the DE Division of Libraries, the Mid-Atlantic Writers Conference brings non-writers together with established writers in a casual environment to help the beginners jump start their writing ambitions, whether for one specific project or to fulfill a dream.
Unlike other writers conferences, each session is geared toward the non- or beginning writer. Presenters are published authors, professional writers, and educators who will show you the basics on how to get started and find support. As with any endeavor, there are tips, tricks, and resources. You'll learn about these while receiving advice from the region's established writing community, the ones who have been there, written that!
Choose your interest in fiction, non-fiction and memoir, or poetry. Stay the day in that track, or mix it up to get a taste of all that is on offer. Add in some bling to really get the creative wave going by lunching with an author who will answer your questions and talk about how they got started, having dinner with a writing legend, or getting one-on-one advice for a manuscript already started or a project you have in mind.
Delmarva Discussions is a non-profit community organization dedicated to the promotion of literature and life-long learning on the Delmarva Peninsula.
