WriteOnCon is coming!!!!


WriteOn-What?

Seriously if you have not heard of this amazing online conference you are missing out! Last year I participated in an online conference called WriteOnCon, and I have to tell you, it was a lot of fun and the best part is.......it's FREE!!  With that in mind, I think it's important to realize how much work goes into it, and therefore if you participate think about contributing to the conference so they can continue providing this awesome service!  

The conference is August 14-15!!!

And what exactly is WriteOnCon??  Here's a snippet from their website:

What is WriteOnCon?

WriteOnCon is the brainchild of seven writers who wanted to “pay it forward” 
and give something back to the writing community. The Conference is 
designed to give attendees many of the features of a live writer’s conference,
 but in an online environment. Thanks to technologies like blogging, vlogging, 
livestreaming, and chats, WriteOnCon connects writers with both industry 
professionals and fellow peers from the convenience of their own homes.
 Critique forums allow writers to receive feedback and exposure for their work, 
and the entire program is designed to be both informative and entertaining.
The conference is scheduled for weekdays, so that attendees won’t have to
set aside an entire weekend to be glued to their computers. To accommodate
day jobs, the schedule features more static elements during working hours, 
and most live events are saved for the evenings. Transcripts/replays for 
live sessions are also available for those unable to attend and all of the 
conference content is archived on our website. For further information, 
please see our FAQs page or contact us.

You can find out all about WriteOnCon by going to their website (you can even find out more about the cute little guy above)

But honestly, the conference is full of blogs and vlogs from published authors and literary agents that are extremely helpful.  There is also forums for you to get free critiques from fellow pre-published authors.  The extra kicker is that in these forums a handful of literary agents act as "ninjas agents" and they too will critique your stuff - which means you are getting your writing in front of agents!!!!

So what are you waiting for???  WriteOnCon is coming!!!
