Dear Writers,
This month and beyond, we have many exciting opportunities for authors, including our weekend professional workshops in Paris, and our conference in Thailand in January.
Many of you requested we add weekend workshops ($495 for the weekend) in Paris in September, for authors who are not able to attend the 5-day weekday conference in Paris. We have therefore added two weekends, as described below. (For those of you who are not able to attend in person, you are welcome to join our online Book Development group that begins at the end of September. Write to me for more information about that.)
On Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 10 - 11, from 1 pm - 7 pm, with an optional dinner in the evenings, we will be hosting a weekend intensive in Paris, at our private conference site on the Champs-Elysees. And on Sept. 17 - 18 we will offer another weekend intensive, from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m., including a working lunch. To reserve a spot, please email me or go to the Register page.
The Thailand Writers Retreat will take place in Chiang Mai Jan. 23 - 27, 2012, and at Hua Hin from Feb. 6 - 10, 2012, both at beautiful resorts. Click on the links in blue for more information, or feel free to email me. I'd be happy to call you if you provide your contact information.
I've attached also, below, notice of the May 2012 Paris Writers Retreat, for those of you who need to plan in advance.
Best regards,
Margaret Taylor
Assistant to Wendy Goldman Rohm
