Many writers’
conferences offer scholarships to needy writers. That includes the 2018 Steel Pen
Creative Writers’ Conference, which will be held on October 27 at Fair Oaks
Farms just north of Rensselaer, Indiana. The conference offers lunch with
keynote speaker Michael Poore, a full day of writing workshops, and multiple
opportunities to connect with other writers. You can find more information about
the conference at www.steelpenconference.org.
The application
deadline for Steel Pen scholarships is September 15, so don’t wait to apply.
You can find the application form at www.steelpenconference.org.
Just scroll down the page until you reach the application. Fill in the
information that is visible and scroll down within the application box to
continue.
There are two ways
for those who don’t need scholarship help to assist those who do. First, you
can encourage someone else to apply. Second, you can contibute to the
scholarship fund by clicking on the Donate button at the bottom of the page and
noting in the instruction box that the donation goes to conference
scholarships. This is a tax-deductable donation.
The conference
page at www.steelpenconference.org is also where paying attendees can register. Regular prices run through
September 14, 2018, and will increase by $10 on September 15.
If you are short
on funds but aren’t available on October 27, other conferences have scholarships,
too. Don’t give up on going until you check them out.
But if you can
make it on October 27, give us a try.
