Dear Writer:

The Art and Business of Writing©, www.theartandbusinessofwriting.com, is a writers’ conference created and organized by P.J. Campbell, Author and Publishing Consultant.  www.pjcampbellwriter.com.  With over fifteen years experience in the publishing industry as the Director of Events with a leading publishing house and as a former independent bookstore General Manager and Director of Events, PJ is an expert in the business of writing.  She is the “Publishing Guru” http://publishing.lifetips.com./ for LifeTips.com (http://lifetips.com).  Her new book, 101 AUTHOR TIPS, Creating A Successful Book Campaign, published by LifeTips.com released 2009.

Joining PJ will be author and lecturer, Nancy Slonim Aronie, WRITING FROM THE HEART, http://www.nancyaronie.com/.  Nancy founded the Chilmark Writing Workshop on Martha’s Vineyard in 1986. She has been writing and performing her essays on NPR’s All Things Considered for many years, as well as conducting workshops and lecturing at The Omega Institute, Wain-Wright House, The Kripalu Center, The Open Center, and teaching at Harvard University.

PJ and Nancy bring together over 35 years of profound writing experience.  This weekend will provide a safe place for writers to find the heart and truth of their writing. The writer within all of us will be encouraged to take risks in order to feel, to deal and ultimately heal our wounds so that we can turn our stories into solid gold. 

Writing is only the beginning of the journey in producing a piece of work.  It’s also about sharing your writing and what you need to know in order to be published. What happens after you are published? Find out what you have always wanted to know about the publishing process and how to maximize sales through positioning your book, publicity and marketing.

Join PJ Campbell and special guests, for a weekend of information and inspiration for new and seasoned writers, at the famous Gurney’s Inn Resort and Spa, Montauk, NY (http://www.gurneys-inn.com/main.htm).

Whether you’re looking for your writer’s voice, wondering how to market your writing, or wish breathe in the ocean air while you further your writing journey, this will be an all-inclusive weekend and one to remember for years to come.
