APRIL 11
Rally of Writers Conference – Lansing, MI – 8am-4pm
I’m happy to be back at Rally of Writers this year running the First Page session where you get a chance to read your first page out loud and get instant, constructive feedback to improve your chances of getting an agent, an editor, or a reader to turn to page two. There’s a whole line-up of great speakers this year, and author Stephen Mack Jones will be presenting the keynote, as well as teaching a session. Come for the workshops, the networking, the book signings, and much more. It’s a really welcoming group of writers and an affordable, one-day conference. You can find out more and register to attend here.
