Write on!

Author Cindy on October 3rd, 2008

Fall is the perfect time to explore your creative side — and to polish those unfinished novels or poems in your desk drawer. There’s still time to register for the Rochester Writers Conference on Saturday, October 11, at Rochester College, Rochester Hills, MI.

Authors and professional speakers will present lectures, workshops, and panel discussions for writers of all levels. (I’m offering a talk on crafting inspirational essays for a variety of markets.) Registration for this affordable one-day program includes two morning sessions, lunch, and two afternoon sessions. Don’t miss the chance to re-energize your writing goals this fall — and to meet and network with fellow novelists, journalists, children’s authors, poets, and dreamers. For more information on presenters, location, and advanced registration, please visit the Rochester Conference Web site.

And I hope you’ll join me at the Royal Oak Public Library on October 14, 7pm, when David Crumm, veteran journalist and editor of the interfaith Web site Read the Spirit discusses the craft of spiritual writing. For more information and to pre-register for these programs, visit the ROPL Web site. –CL
