Registration Open for Bay to Ocean writers Conference

Registration for the 15th Annual Bay to Ocean Writers Conference, February 25, 2012 is now open. Check the website www.baytoocean.com for details. Featured speakers include TWC workshop leaders Kathryn Johnson, Laura Oliver, Lynn Schwartz, Khris Baxter, Angela Render, and Sue Ellen Thompson. Registration must be received by February 15, 2012.

On the website you will find session descriptions and brief bios of the instructors. You can print out a schedule for the day to help you plan your day; however, it is not necessary to sign up for individual sessions.

At this conference we’ll have 28 excellent session leaders giving presentations on many topics relating to the art and business of writing. Whether you’re interested in learning the craft of writing, utilizing digital tools for writers, getting your work published and marketed, or any of the other writing related topics offered, the Bay to Ocean Writers Conference definitely has something for everyone.

Fees have stayed the same as we are aware of the impact of the economy on everyone: $89 for adults and $55 for students with ID. Your registration fee includes a deluxe continental breakfast, a networking lunch and five sessions chosen from 25 offerings.

Early registration is strongly encouraged as the conference has sold out in advance the last six years.

Kathryn Johnson Wins Romance Writers of America Prize

A short post today to announce some great news about one of our workshop leaders, the ever-versatile, ever-prolific Kathryn Johnson. It comes to me via our friends at the Mid-Atlantic chapter of Mystery Writers of America.

Romance Writers of America awarded Kathryn the Booksellers' Best Award in the YA category for her latest novel, The Gentleman Poet. Congrats, Kathryn.

Kathryn is the popular instructor of our Extreme Novelist workshops. Her next one begins July 11.
