Meeting of January 30, 2008
Our regular Wednesday meeting was well-attended and anticipation of the conference is definitely building.
Visitors: Four visitors showed up to survey the workshop's workings, including Kristen Lamb, who also joined (she heard about DFWWWW at the Fort Worth Freelance Writer's group, of which she is president) and Jennifer Bennet, who heard about us on the web.
Rejections: Two reported.
Acceptances: Kyle White reported having a book review and an article accepted. A. Lee Martinez announced that his recent book, A Nameless Witch, has been listed by the Amelia Bloomer Project, a list of feminist fiction for young readers. Don Watson has been short-listed in a poetry contest, and David Straiton has had three essays accepted by an e-zine.
Submissions: Anne Perry, Carolyn Williamson, Grace Roeber, Sonja Cassella, Chris Moore, Kyle White (not just one, but five ) and Steve Manning.
Announcements:
Candace Havens says her new book is coning out this Tuesday and that it's receiving fantastic reviews. She will be teaching up a storm in coming weeks. In addition to being the keynote speaker for the conference, she will have a book signing this Saturday with four other writers, at the North Richland Hills Barnes and Noble, at 1 p.m. Next Tuesday, she will be at the Euless Library, where she will speak to a book club at 1:30 p.m. She is also starting another section of her "Fast Draft" online course.

The Conference: President Steve Manning announced we need only 25 more registrations to meet our attendance goal.
There will be a table where DFWWW authors can offer their books for sale; contact Steve for more information if you'd like to participate.
There will be a packet stuffing party at the Ruth Millikan center on Feb. 20 at 6:00 p.m. We will be filling the free informational packets that conference attendees will receive. If you have promotional bookmarks for your books, you may bring them for inclusion. Pizza will be served to the volunteers.
