Anne Janzer
GET THE WORD OUT:
WRITE A BOOK THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Did you know that only 6% of nonfiction writers stick with their initial outlines? (That number must be smaller for fiction writers!)
Did you know that while most books take longer than anticipated to write, most authors find that the experience exceeds their expectations?
And for many published authors, the biggest surprise about the process of writing is what happens afterward—marketing.
In this session, Anne Janzer will share the results of a survey of more than 400 authors, which she conducted as research for her most recent book Get the Word Out: Write a Book That Makes a Difference. We’ll cover insights about publishing, book marketing, motivation, and of course the writing process. Anne will also share the words of advice and wisdom from the survey participants.
I hope to see you there.

Round Tables Critique Sessions begin at 5:15 pm
Terry Sanville and Susan Tuttle will be here to critique your work
Please keep your submission to two pages, typed, 12-point font, double spaced. This is a great—and safe—way to see what the critiquing process is all about, get valuable feedback from two fantastic writers, and practice reading your work to a small audience.
This is an opportunity to get feedback on your work in progress and practice your constructive critiquing skills. It is also a great way to get to know other writers in our group. You do not have to bring along work to participate. Please keep submissions to double-spaced, 12 font, two pages.
