Fun is aim of PV writers’ confab

One might think a writers’ conference would be a stodgy affair featuring egg-heads pontificating pie-in-the-sky views.

Not so, says Doug Danielson, chairman of the 8th annual Puerto Vallarta Writers’ Conference and Book Fair scheduled Feb. 22-24 at Biblioteca Los Mangos Public Library.

“The emphasis will be on fun,” he said. “We want people to come and have a good time and meet people.”

The program will emphasize hands-on workshops, seminars and panel discussions concentrating on both the craft of writing and how to get your foot in the publishing door after you have completed the writing task.

“The presenters are successful authors who have been where many participants are now and they can show how to proceed to the next level,” he says.

For those interested in the full three-day conference, registration is 150 (U.S.) dollars or 2,000 pesos. Registrants will receive emails outlining the program of workshops and seminars. Online registration is at www.pvwg.com/2013-conference.
