Conference Classes

Clutter have you down? Don�t know where you�ve sent that story, or how long it�s been out there? How do you set up a work space and keep track of your manuscripts? And what about all your research notes?

In the first half of this interactive class, Kimn shows several successful ideas and resources, sharing systems that work for her. The second half of class is reserved to address specific organizational or recordkeeping problems of class attendees. Beginning writers come to learn about recordkeeping and tracking systems, while established writers come because they want better ways to organize research notes and get their paper clutter under control.

Which online service is best--and is there a difference? How does all this Internet stuff work, anyhow? Can you really save time researching online, and how do you do it? What are the hot spots for writers? Can you really make any money?

Geared for writers who want to know answers to these questions, Kimn covers the above points and provides a list of online sites of interest to Christian writers, including a list of paying markets. Conferees are encouraged to ask questions or share insights throughout the class time.

Do you want to design your own web page? Come find out how in Kimn's easy-to-understand introductory class! Learn the ten basic commands in HTML (hypertext mark-up language), what hypertext is and how you can use it, and how to add graphics to your site. Each attendee will receive a handout with these tips, as well as Internet addresses to access free shareware graphics to put pizzazz in a web page.

Can�t find a critique group? Maybe you�re not convinced you need one. Kimn found herself nominated to head up one of CompuServe�s first Christian online critique groups, and later, she helped start one in her local neighborhood where she continues to serve as the group's lead coordinator.

Come find out how you can do the same; what the rules are; and the Top Ten Things you�ll never forget from being involved in a critique group!
