Scribblers’ Retreat Writers’ Conference
St. Simon’s Island, Georgia
May 12-14, 2011
Through the years, the abundant beauty of the Georgia coast has inspired artists of every stripe, including poets, novelists and playwrights. You too can find inspiration on this beautiful island while enjoying fellowship with other writers and students. During the two-day conference, ten world-class authors, editors, publishers and other literary professionals will impart their own wisdom in a classroom setting. Each conference begins with an Opening Ceremonies Banquet Thursday evening and ends with an Evening with the Authors cocktail reception Saturday evening. An added bonus — I’ll be there! As you can see, I am one of the speakers.

Sounds delightful. I’m a 24 hour caregiver this season of my life, which means I cannot attend conferences. Blessings to you as you teach others your craft.

Carol, I’m so sorry to hear that. It’s such a hard thing to do. Sending you virtual hugs.

Wish I lived closer. I’d definitely attend. What a great way to fellowship with likeminded people. Have a wonderful week, Pat.

I’m promoting the weekend because I told them I would, but it’s expensive, so I don’t really expect anyone to attend on my behalf. Still, it would have been fun to meet you after all these years.

Thank you, Malcolm. Too bad airports are such as they are — I have a five hour layover in Atlanta. Ah, well. Such are the vagaries of life.
