IWC would like to thank you for your
continued support of the Steel Pen Conference and our other efforts to help
writers in Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland. Here is a report from IWC President
Anastasia Trekles on what to expect during 2018.
2018 Steel Pen Conference: October 27, 2018
The 2018 conference will again be held
at the Fair Oaks Farms venue that was so well received by all who attended in
2017. Mark your calendars for October 27, and we hope to see you there with
keynote speaker Michael Poore.
Editing Service: New for 2018
IWC is offering a new service to
members: editing. That’s right, you can get a manuscript edited by one of our
expert writing volunteers, who will give you the feedback you are seeking for
any creative effort you might be working on.
The specifics:
·
You
may submit files to indianawritersconsortium@gmail.com as a Word document, double-spaced, with 12-point, Times New Roman font and
1-inch margins on all sides.
·
Current
IWC members are charged a fee of $1 per page, and non-members are charged a fee
of $1.50 per page. Payment is accepted via PayPal or check written to IWC.
· Turnaround time
depends on the length of your manuscript and can be discussed one-on-one with
your editor.
We hope you will consider this a
valuable service and one that will help you continue your road to success as a writer.
Good luck in 2018!
Publish in the IWC Blog
This blog, located at http://indiana-writers-consortium.blogspot.com,
publishes new posts every Wednesday. We would like to compile a stock of posts
that we can use when there is an opening. If you are interested in submitting
one or more posts, please email them to indianawritersconsortium@gmail.com and put "Blog" in the subject line.
You can email the same address (with the same reference) to request a copy of the submission guidelines.
Reprints of material you wrote for your
own blog or another source are acceptable as long as you tell us where and when
they previously appeared. We take nonexclusive rights, which means that you
retain the right to sell or use the post in other blogs or publications and
that IWC has the right to reprint it on any IWC blog or in any IWC anthology.
There is no payment for IWC blog
posts, but bloggers may include a website or blog address and a short bio for
promotional purposes.
IWC is Looking for New Board and Conference
Committee Members
Are you interested in getting more
involved with IWC and helping us reach new heights?
Any member or non-member with a passion
for writing and time to participate in regular meetings as well as the annual
Steel Pen Conference in October is invited to submit a resume to indianawritersconsortium@gmail.com.
Board service is a two-year
commitment with the ability to renew your term. Quarterly meetings may be held
in person or electronically. We are particularly looking for dedicated individuals
who seek to make a difference and are willing to collaborate virtually (email,
Web conference) as well as face-to-face. Extensive technology skills are not
required, however.
Conference Committee service
involves working specifically on the Steel Pen Conference, which takes place in
October. Business is conducted at monthly meetings and by email. If you have a
specific talent you would like to lend to the cause, such as fundraising, marketing,
event planning, or just working hard to make the event a success, we’d love to
have you!
Please feel free to send us
questions at any time. If you wish to submit a brief resume with your interest
in either Board or Conference Committee work, please do so before January 31,
2018.
