Just When You Need a Pep Talk...

Just when I think I can't love the Books & Writers Forum any more, something comes along and make it ever better. Last weekend, when a lot of the Forumites were attending (some as presenters) the Surrey International Writers Conference in Canada, Forum member Deniz hosted a Virtual Surrey Conference at good, old B&W. I feel like I got to attend the real thing only I got to sleep in my own bed. ; )

We checked in on Friday and had all sorts of workshops to participate in. If you don't have time to sample all of these, you owe it to yourself to check out Technical Topics with Jo Bourne.

I hope you get time to try them all. By the way, it's easy to join the Forum. We love new writers and readers of all types. ; )

There's a lot more there, but I thought this would be plenty to whet your appetite for all the goodness of the Books & Writer's Forum. And as a bonus, Dee-Ann, the lucky, who got to go to the real thing posted some of her notes. Enjoy!

    I really need to attend a writer's conference. I'm missing out.

      Check out the B&W's virtual one and join us. To tell the truth, it goes on 24/7/365 in the Exercises, Biz, and Workshop folders. ; )

    I thought Virtual Surrey was a smash hit! Even though I didn't post, I was able to cruise through the folders and was blown away by the content. I hope this becomes a tradition on the Forum!

      I do too, Lara. It's like a professional house party. ; ) Deniz did a wonderful job.
