Annual Writing For Charity - 1 day Event

I am once again participating in the annual Writing for Charity event here in Utah. If you are nearby or have any ability to pop into the state for a day, this would be it! The info below is pasted from the Writing for Charity blog that I did the top banner image for. Make sure to sign up. It'll be worth every penny and all the proceeds go to charity. http://writingforcharity.blogspot.com/

The 2014 WRITING FOR CHARITY Conference  
Writing for Charity is a seminar/workshop for children's book writers, put on by professional authors in Utah who want to give back to their community and the world.  The conference was founded by Shannon Hale, NYT Bestselling Author and Newberry Honor Recipient.
