Hey New Yorkers! (NYC writers that is):
If you haven't already signed up for this REALLY inexpensive and worthwhile conference sponsored by The Council of Literary Magazines and Small Presses (CLMP), I think there's still room available AND, if you say you are a Mira's List fan, you get 20% off! Here's what the website says about the conference:
NOVEMBER 12-13, 2010 } A two-day conference for fiction, poetry, and creative-nonfiction writers learning how to maneuver in the marketplace. Meet writers, editors, agents, publicists and publishers from Publishers Weekly, Oxford University Press, Scribner, Hachette Book Group, Graywolf, the Poetry Society of America, Bloomsbury, Knopf, the Academy of American Poets and more.
I will be on a panel this Saturday from 3 to 4:30 with these amazing folks: Elliot Figman, poet and Executive Director of Poets & Writers and Jeffrey Lependorf, composer, writer and CLMP's Executive Director. We will be talking about grants and awards, book contests and artist colonies.
The conference will be held here:
The New School
Alvin Johnson/J.M. Kaplan Building
66 W. 12 St.
New York, NY 10011
Please visit the website to see if there's still room for you at the conference! And if you come and are a ML fan, please come up and say hi after my panel. I'd love to meet you. See you in New York!
Love,
Mirabee
