There’s nothing like a day-long conference to recharge a writer’s creative batteries. On October 20, I’ll be joining a terrific group of Michigan authors, speakers, and educators at the 11th Annual Rochester Writers’ Conference at Oakland University, Rochester, MI. 

In my workshop, Freeing Your Personal Mythology, I’ll discuss how to identify and release the cultural and family stories that define your life and shape your viewpoints. If you’re looking for material for your memoir or new topics for personal essays, this workshop will help you get started.  

Other presentation topics at the one-day conference include: 

*Top 25 publishing trends
*How to prepare for a reading of your own work
*Twitter for writers
*How to determine your genre
*Tips for producing a podcast 
*What to do before you publish your book 
*Literary agent panel
*Magazine editor panel …. and more.
