Publishers/Agents        

Perhaps the greatest value of any writers' conference, is that you can pitch your story ideas
directly to publishers and agents.  At this year's conference, these publishers and agents will be on
board:
















Personal appointments

    Our instructors will be available for private 15-minute consultations, on request.  
    They might be able to critique your writing, or offer general advice about the
    publishing business.  Just be sure to sign up for an appointment when you
    arrive.  



Screenplay Workshop

    Our screenplay workshop will be facilitated by a representative of the
    Act One program, a community of Christian professionals for the
    entertainment industry who are committed to artistry, meaning, and
    prayer, so that through their lives and work they may be
witnesses of Christ to their fellow artists. Graduates are prepared for careers marked by integrity
and excellence, in writers’ rooms, on sets, and in studio and network offices. They seek to
produce cinema and television that serve the global audience, combining mastery of craft with
depth and substance. Their emphasis is on transforming the content of Hollywood entertainment
and the culture that produces it. In service of this vision, Act One offers a variety of educational
programs endorsed by industry insiders.  


Faculty Panel

After the four workshop sessions have ended, there's a good chance that you will still have many
unanswered questions.  So at the end of the evening on Saturday, you will have the perfect
opportunity to get them out of your system:  We will present a Q & A session with all of our
faculty, where you can ask them anything.  If they don't know the answer, it probably doesn't
exist!


Books

    By the time that you leave our conference, we hope you’ll feel inspired to tackle
    your writing projects as never before.  You might want to start that rewrite, call
    that editor, or join a writers group.  But perhaps you'll need some additional
    help to get there.  So why wait?  

    By special arrangement with a local retailer, will have a book table stocked with
books about publishing, writing, grammar -- anything else that might be beneficial to a writer
who needs help to polish and market that manuscript.  

In addition, our panelists will offer their books for sale.  We don't pay them much, so please
support them all you can.


Workshops on CD

    If you should find yourself unable to attend all the workshops you'd like -- or if
    you loved a particular class so much that you want to hear it again -- fear not.  
    All of our sessions will be recorded by our stellar sound crew, and you can buy
    them for the nominal price of $5.00 each.  Just go to the book table and fill out a
    wish list.


Free Wireless Internet

    There are true geeks among us.  Yes, you know who you are.  Your
    Blackberry is permanently affixed to your hip, and your wireless headset is
    forever epoxied to your ear. Like our new president, you can't bear to
    unplug from your electronic gadgets for even a moment.  Therefore, as we
    strive to be all things to all people, this is for you:

Our entire building is one large Wi-Fi Hot Spot.  So, feel free to bring your laptop computer.  You
can surf the Web, check your email, or chat with friends.  We ask only that you mute the speakers
during our sessions, so as not to disturb your neighbors.
