Happy Halloween from Steel Pen

Happy Halloween.

Oops, wrong holiday. Or is it?

The 2018 Steel Pen Creative Writers’ Conference will be held on October 27 at the conference center at Fair Oaks Farms, which is located north of Rensselaer, Indiana just off I-65. Since that’s the Saturday before Halloween and we have a keynote speaker with the devil as a protagonist, it’s the perfect opportunity for a literary costume contest.

While costumes are optional, we encourage attendees to come dressed as their favorite literary character or writer. (Well, any writer except Edgar Allen Poe. He’s already taken, and you don’t want to anger the conference chairperson, do you?)

The venue caters to children, so keep it clean. Other than that (and not coming as Poe), anything goes.

But you can’t participate if you don’t register for the conference. Although registration runs through October 15, early registration prices end on July 14. You can register at www.steelpenconference.org. That’s also the place to find more information on the keynote speaker and the break-out sessions.

So sign up now and spend your Fourth of July planning for Halloween.
