How an Online Conference Works:
An online-conference is a conference hosted on the Internet. Participants can attend without leaving the comfort of their home.

Who it is for:
This conference is for anyone who is writing fiction or thinking about writing. It’s also for those published authors who would like to learn more about the craft of writing to improve your skills or take advantage of our industry professionals who will discuss tips on getting a book review, marketing, networking and the advantages of a virtual tour.

How You Will Participate:
You register for the conference by emailing us at visionsinprintacfw@yahoo.com . We’ll send you an invoice for the $10 registration fee. A few days before the conference you’ll receive instructions on how to enter the main site for the conference. On the day of the conference, the workshops are presented in the forms of articles that are posted on the conference site by the presenter. Participants will review the material and post follow-up questions or comments in a threaded discussion format. At some point in the afternoon or perhaps several times during the day, the presenter will come into the forum and answer all the questions. Additionally, each presenter will hold a live chat for 45 minutes to an hour where they will talk with participants. This is another opportunity to have your questions answered or just have an opportunity to speak with one of your favorite authors.

Door prizes: Book Giveaway and all registered participants who are interested will be entered in a raffle to win a 10-page critique from author, Sherri Lewis!
