Tony Todaro Extends SharingwithWriters Readers Invitation to Success

This is the only conference quite like this so I thought I'd pass the invitation along my SharingwithWriters subscribers and visitors.  It's not too late to register and it's supremely affordable. (Read that frugal! )  And yes, I'll be there on Friday with an indepth hour on improving dialogue and avoiding humiliation by making errors with punctuation--the kind that keep you from getting past the gatekeepers who have the power to say "yay" or "nay" to your manuscript.

By the way, they partner with LA's famous Sportsmen's Lodge for special rates on accommodations. And our weather is gorgeous! (-:  
 
New Story Conference
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is your invitation straight from Tony Todaro, Director of Big Story Writers Conference in Los Angeles.


“Please join  fellow writers at the Big Story Writers  Conference , an event  uniquely focused to help define the elements of  virtually any story concept or plot you  envision and develop it a truly BIG STORY  with the potential to become a best-seller or  hit movie.
“During three days of  workshops, you will learn how to fine-tune and  master your skill sets to produce the best  structure for a work of fiction, non-fiction,  screenplay, short story, or poetry, as well as  how to write a solid book proposal, draft a  great query letter to agents, develop a synopsis  or story bible that reflects your voice as an  author, and more.
“This  educational and inspirational conference will  include dozens of guest speakers, veteran  educators, industry experts, publishing  professionals, noted writers and best-selling  authors on four simultaneous tracks focused on  the craft of writing the BIG  STORY.Writers of all levels and  genres will benefit from this  event.

MEET AGENTS  AND PUBLISHERS LOOKING FOR NEW TALENT
The Big  Story Writers Conference offers ProCritiques™ with professional  editors, and  Masters ProCritiques ™ with agents and  publishers looking for new talent. This is a  terrific opportunity and cost-effective way to  receive one-on-one  constructive, professional feedback on your  novel or screenplay, and increase your chances  for success as an author now and in the  future. We also  offer ProConsultations, which are  opportunities for authors with completed,  polished manuscripts to pitch  literary agents and publishers at no extra  cost. We even offer an  informative seminar with the "agents du jour"   to help you prepare for your live meeting  later that day.


We look  forward to your joining us for this educational  and inspirational event for writers of all  genres and disciplines.

Continued success with your  writing,

And it's being held in the San Fernando Valley, where the weather is balmy and there's NO SNOW! So come join us. We even have a great deal at the iconic Sportsmans Lodge, so after the conference, you can enjoy Universal Studios and City Walk!
