Writing Conferences – A Must for any Writer

I enjoyed my first writing conference yesterday. It was invaluable. All writers, aspiring all the way to published writers, must take advantage of the opportunity. Not only did I learn valuable information and writing tips, but also I gained one piece of much needed advice; I need to be in a critique group. Chris Schoebinger, a publisher who attended the conference, said if you want to be published, you must be in a critique group.
While at the conference, I found my critique group. Yah!!! A few of us decided that getting published was important enough to follow through with the advice. This excites me and should excite all aspiring writers to take this important step to making the dream of being published a reality.

A favorite author of mine will be the keynote speaker; Brandon Mull, author of the Fablehaven series, The Candy Shop War, and Pingo. He had a new series coming out in March 2011 called the Beyonders.

Above is a photo from a book signing where I met him and got all of my books signed. It was fabulous. There is another one to your right too.

I am super excited to attend the conference. This will be my first writing conference. I hope that I can learn a lot and do some major networking. I mean MAJOR!

If you want to go with me then let me know!
