I want to encourage any of you who desire to write, whether you’re a poet, screen play writer, short story writer, novelist, lyricist, etc., to come check out the SDSU Writer’s Conference in San Diego, from January 25th – 27th, 2008. You can find out all you need here:
I attended the SDSU Writer’s Conference in 2007, and it was a really great time. I met others who, like myself, are passionate about writing and are, at the same time, working to make ends meet. I met with an editor who is pretty important in the fantasy genre, who reviewed my first ten pages and provided good feedback, encouragement, and thoughtful critique. I also met with two agents who work in the fantasy genre who listed to my synopsis, asked questions, and provided similar critique and advice.
I didn’t realize how much this conference would benefit me. I have no friends who are passionate about writing as I am, nor am I part of any writer’s group that gets together once a week to encourage each other. I don’t have those priviledges, so I was really encouraged so spend three days among so many people who share this nerdy passion. I couldn’t imagine not going again this year, so I’m going. If you’re reading this and you decide to go, please let me know so we can meet up.
