Indiana Writers’ Consortium is
looking for presenters for the 2017 Steel Pen Creative Writers’ Conference, which
will be held on October 28. We have a new venue this year, so join us at the
conference center at Fair Oaks Farms just off I-65 near Rensselaer, Indiana.
This full-day conference provides
educational opportunities for creative writers at all stages in their careers.
Attendees will choose from a variety of workshops, panels, and lectures
covering fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and the business of writing. If
you are interested in presenting, we would love to read your proposal.
When preparing a proposal, please
keep the following in mind:
· The actual
schedule has not been set, but breakout sessions will be allotted somewhere
between 50 minutes and 1 hr. 15 minutes.
· This conference is
aimed at creative writers, and all proposals
should provide value for them. For example, a proposal by a visual artist could
cover the relationship between author and illustrator, and a proposal by a
storyteller could address ways to enhance the selling opportunities provided by
school visits, library presentations, and book signings.
· All presentations,
including lectures, should provide opportunity for interaction.
Please note that presenters are
responsible for arranging and paying for their own travel and accommodations
and must pay a discounted registration fee of $35.
The proposal applications will be
sent out by e-mail today and are due back by April 15. If you are not on the
distribution list, you can e-mail steelpenconference@gmail.com
and ask for the form.
Additional information about the
conference will be posted at www.inwriters.org/steel-pen-conference as it becomes
available.
Please share this post with anyone
who might be interested in submitting a proposal.
