Philadelphia Writer's Conference

I had the opportunity this past weekend to attend the Philadelphia Writer’s Conference. This was my second year of attending and this time, I was accompanied by my granddaughter Katrina and her friend Jessica. Katrina is only 15, but I swear she is an old soul. She loves to write and I was so pleased that she could attend the conference, in spite of her young age. Jessica traveled all the way from Alberta, Canada for this event.

                                                                   

I had signed up for several classes and was able to get plenty of expert advice and suggestions from my talented and knowledgeable instructors: Caridad Pineiro, Merry Jones, Marilyn Horowitz, Kathryn Craft and Jonathan Maberry. I’m now ready to tweak my work and send it out to an editor. Here are just two of my instructors.

                                                                     

             Marilyn Horowitz, Author, Writing Coach & Script Consultant

                   Jonathan Maberry, Author- NewYork Bestseller-Multiple Bram Stoker Award winner-Speaker-Writing Teacher.                                                                                

                                                                                                               

I’ve also made a lot of new friends, but unfortunately, I did not get everyone’s picture.

So, if you’re a writer and you want to attend a writer’s conference, you should try to attend next year’s event. The people who pull this wonderful conference together every year are amazing and they present every writer with the means to perfect their work.
