No matter the level of expertise,
the Blue Ridge Writers' Conference provides a venue for professional
and aspiring poets and writers.
This year's Writers'
Conference will offer a four-hour Workshop Intensive on Friday, April 8th.
The Workshop Intensive will focus on "Show, Don't Tell: Yes,
Yes, But What Does That MEAN??", presented by Jennifer Jabaley
& Kristin Tubb.
Join us on Friday evening beginning at
5pm and meet fellow attendees and conference speakers. Enjoy light
fare as you network. Stay after the meet and greet and
enjoy our double opening reception to The Art Center's latest
exhibits, The Photography of Arni Katz and the Valley River Artist
Guild Exhibit.
Saturday, April 9th begins
with light breakfast fare and our keynote speech. The 2016
keynote speaker will be Stephanie Fretwill-Hill. Stephanie is
an agent at Red Fox Literary and her keynote,
entitled "An Insider's Look At The Publishing
Process", will follow a manuscript as it goes from submission to the
acquisitions process, through editorial and production, and finally on to
sales and marketing.
The day continues
with concurrent workshops on everything from freelancing for digital
& print writing, writing your children's fiction or non-fiction,
revising your poetry to marketing a manuscript.
Our 2016 speakers include Robert Brewer,
Tara Lynne Groth, Steven Harvey, Jennifer Jabaley, Deborah Malone, Lola
Schaefer, and Kristin Tubb. Conference attendees appreciate
the chance to network with other writers and speakers during
the day and the opportunity to submit their work for critique by one of
the conference speakers. Book sales will also be made
available throughout the conference.
We look forward to you joining us this
year for our 19th Annual Blue Ridge Writers' Conference!
