Infinity Writer's Conference




I'll be attending the Saturday workshop of the Infinity Publishing’s 10th Annual Express Yourself…™Gathering of Authors Friday, September 25 – Sunday, September 27, 2009Park Ridge Hotel and Conference Center, Valley Forge, PA


Infinity has been publishing my books since 2004, and this will be the third conference I've attended. They focus on marketing your book and have a wonderful panel of speakers.


From their site:

Infinity’s 10th annual “Express Yourself…” event is now transformed into an enticing Gathering of Authors. This will be same high-caliber and quality event we have earned a reputation for in the publishing community as well as the acclaim of authors. But, instead of the conference format of panels and seminars in meeting rooms arranged in classroom style, our Gathering of Authors attendees will participate in dynamic discussion circles facilitating dialogue on timely publishing topics. Indeed a more fluid alignment for brainstorming specific book promotion challenges and talking about how to benefit the most from exposure opportunities. At the beginning of each session an expert or two on the topic will make opening remarks suitable for expanding upon by the group. This interactive arrangement increases the flow of beneficial information – more takeaway ideas for promoting your book.

Artists included Josh (middle photo with his sister, Tiffanie), Spira (bottom), Ella (who drew her Web kin horse) and Rhys who painted both a dog and a horse! Thanks to everyone who participated!
