Submissions: Anne Perry and Harry Robins reported submissions.
Long-time former member Macky Murdock stopped by to visit. He took a moment to tell the members how much the workshop helped him with his first books. He says he expects to see his 6th and 7th books published soon.
Carolyn Williamson announced that a new copy of The Writer's Journey, a favorite book of members, is now available. Previous copies have repeatedly "walked off" while being borrowed, she said.
Rosemary Clement Moore announced that she will be holding a free workshop, "Method Writing: Using Acting Techniques to enrich your writing" at the Arlington Main Library 6:00-7:30 p.m. on February 19, 2008. More info is at Arlington Library Literary Learning Lecture Series (scroll down until you see her photo).
Poetry workshop will be next week at the regular meeting of the workshop.
President Steve Manning announced that conference registrations are picking up, but that we are still short of the break-even level. Press releases have gone to all Texas writer's workshops that Steve could locate, and also to small newspapers in the DFW area. Al Brown will be producing a conference budget this weekend. Pitch sessions with agents, for completed books only, are available on a first-come, first served basis. Registration is $150 non-members, $100 for members, and $75 for educators and full-time students.
Volunteers for the conference are still being sought. Get a free t-shirt for working four hours in the information booth!
