Carolyn Wants to Talk to You About How To Turn Dreadful Adverbs into Nuggets of Gold

I will conduct seminar for the 2nd year at the Catholic Writers’ Conference Online Friday, Feb 6 at 10 am Pacific Time. “Turning Dreadful Adverbs into Nuggets of Gold.”

The conference, sponsored by the Catholic Writers Guild and conducted entirely through the Internet, is free of charge and open to writers of all levels and all religions. It will feature online chats, and forums and pitch sessions throughout the week on a variety of topics covering writing both fiction and non-fiction, submitting manuscripts to publishers and marketing your books. Over 40 workshops and chats are scheduled, according to coordinator Karina Fabian. It runs from Feb 2 to Feb 9 at http://www.catholicwritersconference.com.

I'll be joining top names in the Catholic publishing industry and other skilled presenters, including: authors and editors like Ami McConnell, Devon Ellington, Maya Bohnhoff, Michelle Buckman, Heidi Hess Saxton, Frank Creed, and Kyle Eller; and representatives from Catholic publishers Loyola, Catholic Insider, Our Sunday Visitor and Pauline Press.
