Message
from the Conference Director:
Christian Moerk & Cathe Olson

The
2009 conference was a blast. Our keynoter, international
best-selling author, Christian Moerk, was a dynamic,
fascinating speaker who gave lots of good advice from
his experience of being published first in Europe and
then the United States. The entire faculty was amazing
with three agents, a publisher, poets, authors and an
online marketing expert. The competition was tight, as
we had a record number of entries in the Lillian Dean
Writing Competition this year. Contest coordinator, Sue McGinty, did an outstanding job of keeping everything
straight and the quality of the winning entries was
high. Be sure to check out the 2009 winners
below.
I look forward to seeing you next year.
Cathe Olson
Conference Director
