We’d Like to Borrow Your Network!

It’s only fifty weeks until next year’s Florida Writers Conference. That may seem like a long time, but we’re already starting to plan for next year. Work’s already started on attracting some top-notch agents and publishers–and we can unofficially confirm that we’re shooting to have a lot more of this next year than ever before.

We’re also shooting to improve the conference with our faculty selections, course offerings, and the Thursday fundraiser for the Florida Writers Foundation, not to mention a number of other areas.

That’s where you come in.

We’ve got a great group of nearly 1000 members in the Florida Writers Association, and it keeps growing every day. The secret behind sites like Facebook and LinkedIn is that your network isn’t just the list of people you know, it’s also the list of people your friends and contacts know.

So we’re asking you to put your network to use to help us with next year’s conference. If you know someone you think might be a great addition to next year’s conference, just let us know! Drop us a line with contact information and we’ll take it from there. If you have a personal connection with the person you recommend, we may ask for your help in recruiting.

We can’t promise that we can make it work for all the people who are recommended, but we’d certainly appreciate your help in lining up some possibilities. We’d especially like to know if you can recommend potential conference sponsors and exhibitors. The revenue from these valued business partners helps to underwrite the cost of the conference and keep our prices as low as possible.

Thanks for your help! We’re looking forward to seeing you next year (if not before)!
