Connie May Fowler to Host St. Augustine Writers Conference

Connie May Fowler will be hosting the second annual St. Augustine Writers Conference in October. The conference will offer workshops and more in fiction, creative non-fiction, and poetry. The stellar faculty will be offering a myriad of craft talks, panels, readings, and breakout sessions. They limit this boutique conference to only twenty-four participants, which means small workshops with one-on-one attention and lots of community-building. The Early Bird registration (tuition savings) ends January 30, but there is more time than that to apply. Simply contact Connie if you’d like to take advantage of the special rate. You can read all about it on their website: http://staugustinewritersconference.com/.
