Had a great time this weekend at the Let's Just Write writers conference at the Allerton Hotel downtown. There's nothing like talking with a room of 100+ writers about one of my favorite subjects...writing.
This photo is from the Publishers panel I participated in. That's me on the far left, Emily Victorson (Allium Press), moderater (and author/Columbia College professor) Shawn Shiflett, Jerry Brennan (Tortoise Books), and Dennis Foley (Sidestreet press).
I attended at least four other sessions (introduced a few), got a ton of great ideas about writing techniques, and hung out with some great people. If you are a writer, you should do whatever you can to get to next year's session.
