Also, the 2nd annual Short Story America Festival and Conference is happening from September 26-29th, in historic Beaufort, South Carolina. 

 

Over a dozen authors from all over the country will participate in workshops, lectures, readings and book signings.

 

Authors include Ann Serling, author of the memoir As I Knew Him: My Dad, Rod Serling, Eric Witchey, James Goertel, Marjorie Brody, Mathieu Cailler, Katherine Tandy Brown, Richard Hawley and Gary Lawrence.  All are masters of their craft and eager to share the joys and techniques of writing.

 

The eight workshops offered touch on subjects such as dramatic dialogue, expressing emotions, jump-starting a story, and writing from the heart while working the industry angles.

 

A $50 all-events pass allows access to all the festival has to offer during the four days, including two catered receptions on Friday and Saturday evening.
