“HOW CAN WISCONSIN WRITERS SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER?”
A Panel Discussion Featuring Winners of the 2011 Council for Wisconsin Writers Awards
Thu, Nov. 8 | 5:30PM – 7:00PM
Any writer can tell you that it’s not an easy life. The bad economy and the upheaval in the publishing industry make our time especially difficult. As writers, we’re trying to do it all–marketing, publicity, distribution, and accounting in addition to our creative work. We need all the help we can get, and who understands our needs better than other writers?
In this gathering of distinguished Wisconsin writers, (Paula W. Dail, Kathleen Ernst, Adam Fell, Janet Halfmann, Wendy Vardaman) we’ll discuss practical ways that we can help each other. We’ll share stories of support from our peers and talk about the ways we give back to the literary community. Along with the panel discussion, our program includes readings by winners of our annual contest, the Wisconsin Writers Awards.
The Council for Wisconsin Writers is a unique group of writers, poets, and educators dedicated to the recognition of outstanding work by state writers and to promoting public awareness of Wisconsin’s great literary heritage.
You can submit questions for the panel discussion in advance. Please send your questions to geoff@geoffgilpin.com.
