Notes on GLVWG's conference...

The annual Greater Lehigh Valley Writers Group's conference was held all day yesterday. The conference offered workshops given by published authors, appointments with agents and editors, and networking with other writers. It was a great conference--again.

I was impressed by Matt Birkbeck's workshop where he discussed the methods he employed as he researched his investigative books. His latest books are A Beautiful Child, A Deadly Secret, and most recently about Sammy Davis, Jr., Deconstructing Sammy: Music, Money, Madness and the Mob.

I also learned a little about young adult (YA) novels from author, David Lubar. His YA books are a fun read.

Critically acclaimed novelist and professor at DeSales University, Juilene Osborne-McKnight presented her inspiring "Writing Out Loud: Storytelling and the Writer."
