Mark your calendars for the League of Vermont Writers Fall Meeting on September 18.

We are meeting at the Bishop Booth Center in Burlington (north of town, entrance beside Burlington High School).

On the agenda this year:

Mark Pendergrast -- all about researching and writing Inside the Outbreaks

Bill McKone -- discussing the process of writing and independently publishing Vermont's Irish Rebel

And Alison Moncrief Bromage -- offering a mini-workshop on how to use metaphor to your best advantage!

For full details, including registration info, see our copy of the League's newsletter, League Lines.

The League of Vermont Writers 2010 conference, "Timeless Craft, Timely Skills," was great!

If you were with us at the Grand Summit Resort Hotel at Mt. Snow for the weekend, please accept our heartfelt thanks for sharing in our event. The participation and enthusiasm of dedicated writers like you is every bit as important to the success of these events as the great speakers, agents, and educators who come to Vermont to work with us.

We are so gratified to be able to bring this type of programming to writers who live in and visit our great state. And you all helped to make it the success it was.

Thanks to our sponso rs, Cabot Cheese, Sign*A*Rama of Vermont, Vermont College of Fine Arts, Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing, and The Tamarac Press, for helping to make it possible.

And thanks also to our keynote speaker, Chris Bohjalian, our Sunday keynote, Rusty Dewees, the agents who traveled to Vermont from Boston and New York City (see their names below), and all of the wonderful presenters who taught us about writing and reaching our audiences from so many different perspectives.

To everyone who contributed to this event, the League of Vermont Writers salutes you.

We offer a special thank you to the people at Write Action for their help in getting the word out about the conference to writers throughout Vermont and beyond.

Write Action, a Community of Writers in Brattleboro, Vermont

And a hearty Thank You to our generous sponsors for the event:

The League of Vermont Writers says THANK YOU! to the six agents who helped to make our conference at Mt. Snow such a resounding success!

You were all wonderful and our writers are grateful for your advice, excellent tips, and invitations to send proposals and samples. We'd love to host you in Vermont again in the future.
