SAN FRANCISCO WRITERS CONFERENCE ADDS A PRECONFERENCE DAY WITH IN-DEPTH FULL & HALF-DAY SESSIONS ON FEB. 11TH, 2010
—
Small Classes, In-depth Topics Taught by Top-Rated Presenters Allows Writers to Learn Even More at One of the Country’s Best Writers Conference!
If you want to start attending the SFWC a day early (or for those who can’t attend the full 3-day main conference), the San Francisco Writers Conference has launched a full day of sessions on the day BEFORE the conference officially starts. “Several of our most popular presenters have agreed to launch the San Francisco Writers University with special SFWC PRECONFERENCE sessions on Thursday, February 11th,” said Elizabeth Pomada, SFWC Co-Director. For details and online registration: www.SFWriters.org
What is different about THESE sessions? They are intimate…about 25 people getting to interact with the presenter for more project-specific help. These sessions will be in-depth—full day or half-day in length. As you can see below, the preconference day will feature a wide range of the most popular topics from the San Francisco Writers Conference.
The preconference sessions are open to the public. They are stand-alone sessions and attendees can chose one or more depending on their schedules, budgets and interest. Attendance at the Main Conference is not required.
DONALD MAASS—Imagine a FULL DAY with this top New York literary agent as he conducts this intensive session on “WRITING THE BREAKOUT NOVEL”. Much more personalized attention than any other session Donald gives. Full day session
