The Art of Business Writing Conference

Below is a reprint of an email I received from this conference. It turned my head--so I thought some of you may be interested, too.

Join us for the inaugural gathering of The Art and Business of Writing© Conference!

http://www.theartandbusinessofwriting.com/ or http://www.theartandbusinessofwriting.com/conferenceinfo.htm

Author and publishing insider, PJ Campbell is hosting a weekend of information and inspiration for writers at the famous Gurney’s Inn Resort and Spa, Montauk, NY (http://www.gurneys-inn.com/main.htm ). Whether you are curious if you have what it takes to be a writer, are fine-tuning your first, second or third novel, or wondering about the publishing process, there is something for you at The Art and Business of Writing Conference©. Mingle with published authors, agents and editors, pitch your work and leave with a good sense of a writer in the know.

It will be an all-inclusive weekend with an ocean view. There will be time to learn and relax. When you are not attending a panel discussion, working on your query letter, enjoying a spa treatment, or taking a walk along the sandy beach, you will be immersed in the writing life.
