A nice regional conference by Terry Burns

If you live in the Oklahoma area a writing short course is being offered at Rose State College which is located in Midwest City (on the East side of Oklahoma City) this coming weekend. That would be September 27-29th.

Details on the conference and registration information is located at http://www.rose.edu/shortcourse and it is not too late to get in on this as they are still encouraging late registrations. The theme of the conference is "Finding your voice in the changing world of words."

I'm going to be there taking pitches from authors and doing a program on "Surviving your way to publication" and one on "Sure ways to turn off an editor or agent." The guest of honor will be bestselling author David Morrell, author of "First Blood" and creator of "Rambo."

They have a great faculty lined up including authors who will be sharing writing secrets and techniques, agents talking about the business side of writing and having one on one appointments with attendees, and editors there to talk with attendees interested in writing for their publications.

Regional conferences are a great way to stretch those career growth dollars and are a great investment. I hope to see you there.
