Free? Did You Say ~FREE WRITERS CONFERENCE~?

Wednesday August 6, 2008

Have you signed up for the 2008 MUSE IT UP Conference? It's free! Yup, that's right- a completely free, online writing conference. This conference takes place October 13-19 via an online (but password protected) platform. In order to have access to helpful speakers, stimulating discussions and informative handouts, you MUST sign up before September 1, 2008.

Here's just a sampling of what the conference has in store:

  • Writing for the Trades (How to Make Money Writing Non-fiction)
  • Organize Your Writing Life (yeah, I'll be at this one!)
  • What Aspiring Writers Need To Know
  • How To Sell Yourself
  • Creating An Impressive Writing Website
  • On a personal note, readers, I'm really looking forward to this conference. I was able to attend a bit last year, and was quite happy with it. I still use many of my handouts for reference. I liked it so much that I will be arranging my schedule this year so that I can better attend all the interesting functions. So, if you see me in chat or discussion, be sure to say Hi! I really think this conference will be worth your time investment as a new or intermediate freelancer.

Allena,

Thanks for the heads up. I just subscribed. I will make it a point to find you and say Hi! I am excited now. This will be my first conference of this type, and as an aspiring writer, I can’t wait to get a ton out of the sessions.

This sounds pretty exciting. My goal this year was to attend 2 conferences– and now it looks like I’ll be adding a third. Thanks so much for sharing this with us!

Well, looks like I missed out this year and I would have loved to be apart of this online conference…and loved to hear the answers to some of your questions.
