The Writing Show Series – Lively, Moderated Panel Discussions
Tuesday or Wednesday Evenings | 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
$12 JRW Members | $21 Non-Members
Writing Show panelists are comprised of authors and other literary professionals that offer an insider’s look at the craft and business of writing. The unique structure of The Writing Show series offers an opportunity for participants to socialize and network during the first half hour, before the panel discussion begins. The first half of the program is a panel format, where writing experts share thoughts and advice on the evening’s topic. Following the presentation, the audience has the opportunity to participate in a Q&A. A short intermission is offered, when we encourage attendees to take a break, grab a drink, and share their writing successes (completed first drafts, publication, and even rejection letters count!), to help inspire everyone to keep going on their writing journey. Barring any technical difficulties, your registration also includes a follow up email that provides a recording of the program (when hosted online) to view for a limited time.
For corporate sponsors, recognition is available without tangible goods.
