It’s coming up fast! The 9th Annual Broadleaf Writers Conference is September 21-22 in downtown Decatur, Georgia, at the Decatur Library. Go to the website for full info and registration. This is a fun and illuminating weekend, where you’ll meet fellow writers and learn some great tips from experienced authors, agents, and editors.

I was one of the founding board members of the Broadleaf Writers Association, and I just can’t help sticking around and helping out with each year’s conference. Please come, say hi, and hang out with wordsmiths like you!

I aim to be at StokerCon this year, in Providence RI (March 1-4). I’ve got some panels to speak on, as well as a live tabletop Call of Cthulhu game! See you there.
