LEAP YEAR SPECIAL

My friend, Mary DeMuth, who is always full of splendid ideas and loves to share her expertise, posted this today on The Writer's View 2. Wanna get the skinny from a cast of writing professionals? Mary tells us how:

If you're an aspiring writer and want to get a writers conference in your inbox, consider joining The Writer View. It's free. It's amazing. And, seriously, you'll learn everything you'd learn at a writer's conference (sans meeting cool people face to face), only you don't have to pay airfare. How they work: Each Monday and Thursday a panelist poses a question about the publishing industry, the craft of writing, or anything related to the writing journey. These panelists are agents, editors, writers who are well known in the Christian writing industry. Then, panelists and members writeposts about the question raised. I still learn new things every week. It's a moderated loop, so there's no blatant self promotion. Word counts are limited to 250 per post.
For beginning to intermediate writers, the group to join is TWV 2. Clickhere <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TWV2/> .
For advanced, published writers, join The Writers View. Click here<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheWritersView/> .

You will be asked to fill out an application that you then send to thegroup's leadership. You'll receive an email letting you know whether you'vebeen accepted.
