2011 Write Stuff Conference

First, welcome to the 2011 Write Stuff Conference Blog! 

In the upcoming weeks, you will find all sorts of information, interviews and tips about our upcoming conference on March 25 – 26, 2011, plus our two days of pre-conference workshops on March 24 – 25, 2011.


The first announcement I’d like to make is regarding our keynote speaker.

Donald Maass almost doesn’t need an introduction. Besides being the CEO of the Donald Maass Literary Agency in New York, a leading agency for fiction writers, a past president of the Association of Authors’ Representatives, Inc. (AAR), and on the board of advisors for Writers’ Digest, he is widely recognized for the workshops he teaches across the country based on his widely acclaimed Writer’s Digest’s books on the craft of writing, Writing the Breakout Novel, Writing the Breakout Novel Workbook and Fire in Fiction.

Maass defines the most crucial elements in writing THE book which your readers won’t set down.  I've heard it said many, many times:  If you want to take your writing to the next level, his patented techniques and workshops will give you the tools necessary to possess that potential for hitting that best sellers’ list.

It gives me distinct pleasure to announce that not only will Maass be this year's keynote speaker but GLVWG is offering a special two days of pre-conference workshops.  Maass will be teaching an 8 hour workshop “Writing the Breakout Novel” Thursday, March 24, 2011 and 4 hour  “Fire in Fiction” Friday, March 25, 2011.

Registration will open mid-January. The date is forthcoming very shortly along with other very important details.   Please stay tuned.

Also, please visit our blog often for exciting information as we announce our agents, editors, and presenters along with interviews, information and conference tips.

Questions, please contact me, Tammy Burke, conference chair, at writestuffchair@glvwg.org

Hope to see you at the conference March 24 – 26, 2011!
