(Friday night - 8:00pm to 10:00pm First Floor, Rooms A & B): There are thousands of grants available for writers every year, but most writers never take advantage of this resource. Regardless of if you're just starting out or already a full-time writer, you can benefit from grants. In this two-hour workshop, best-selling author Maurice Broaddus teaches you the tips and tricks for finding them, applying for them, and what to do when you get them. This is a ticketed event, limited to 40 attendees. Tickets are available now and at convention registration.
In order for readers, agents, and publishers to find you online, you need a website. In this seminar, author and digital communications professional Sonora Taylor will share the unique advantages a website has over other online spaces like social media, then walk you through what makes a great author website. There will also be a Q and A session to answer any questions you may have. If you don’t have a website or you have one that’s in serious need of updating, then this seminar is for you.
Tickets: $15 (all proceeds go to Scares That Care)
