Inspirational Essay - sponsored by Saturday Writers

Check out the judges and their bios in my previous blog post, or on the MWG conference blog herehttp://missouriwriters guild.org/2014AnnualContest Rules.pdf and www.missouriwritersguild.org and click on the conference link.
Entries may be submitted by writers who do not plan to attend the Saturday Night Awards Banquet and have the opportunity to hear keynote by Chuck Sambuchino live and in-person--or the conference, for that matter. BUT you'll be missing out on one heck of a lineup of speakers, workshops, pitch sessions, slush pile readings, and the chance to network with lots of great people!
Check out complete contest and submission guidelines, as well as the full lineup of speakers, agents, and workshops here:
Save the date for the conference, too: April 11-13, 2014 at The Ramada Plaza Downtown/at Convention Center, 811 N. 9th Street, Washington Ave. and North, St. Louis, MO. You can make reservations through the Missouri Writers' Guild website in order to get the discounted rate. Don't wait! Make your reservations today!
Until next time. . . .
Keep writing!
