Don't miss the opportunity to apply for this online conference.

SQUIRE ONLINE 2020

Community, but not Communicable
https://ncwriters.org/index.php/programs-and-services/conferences/11189-so20

Fiction session is closed, but there is room in Poetry and Creative Nonfiction. The price is right. Very reasonable cost for members of NCWN and NCWN-West, with discounts for seniors and for students. 

If you have not taken classes on Zoom, I think you will enjoy it. I have taught on Zoom and took classes at the Cabin Fever Conference earlier this year. I really like being able to attend a workshop by a professional writer, to ask questions and hear comments from other participants while sitting in my own home.

This is an excellent method for older folks to participate without having to brave the outside world right now. 

See the link above to register, but the deadline for registration is June 29, so don't wait. Do it now.
You don't have to be a member to register, but if you want to join at the time you register, you will get a nice discount.
