A New Resource for Chapters

Thanks to a generous monetary donation from an anonymous source specifically ear-marked, we have printed 3,500 membership brochures. This updated pamphlet is generic in nature so it has universal appeal for prospective SCWW members. If your chapter or community would like a supply to encourage new membership (there’s even an application inside), please email Membership Chair Steve Gordy (scwwmembership@gmail.com) or Ginny Padgett (scwwpresident@gmail.com). We will get them to you right away.

While I’m here, I want to thank, in advance, our conference faculty members for their blogs. From now until October 21, we’ll have a blog from one of them at least once a week. Be sure to keep visiting here at the SCWW blog page for their tips for getting the most out of your conference experience and other helpful tidbits.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, we are poised on the brink of one of our best writers’ conferences in 21 years. The structure is a bit different this year which we hope will better accommodate more attendees. Our sessions will address a greater variety of topics. Be sure to register as soon as possible to ensure your first-choice appointments for critiques, pitches, and queries. Early-bird rates end September 1. Also, your work for critique must be received by Carrie by September 1.
