Join us for the WriterCon Alaskan Cruise! You’ll get over 20 hours of writing instruction, scheduled when the boat is at sea, not when you’d rather get off and go see glaciers. Talks, small groups, critiques, one-on-one conversations with agents and others, and much more. It’s May 31-June 7 leaving from Seattle. For more info, please visit our website: www.writercon.com
Until next time, keep writing, and remember: You cannot fail, if you refuse to quit.
