THE CRAFT & BUSINESS OF WRITING
|
| CONGRATULATIONS TO CHRIS HAMILTON. Since 2009, Chris has tirelessly created great content daily for the Florida Writers Conference Blog. This month marked two big milestones: he published the 1000th post, and the blog exceeded 2000 hits (not including e-mail subscriptions) for the eighth straight month. Wow!
Regular readers of the blog find much more than conference news there. It's packed with posts about the craft and business of writing, writing prompts, publishing industry news, and much more. If you're not already reading it regularly, check it out and see what you've been missing...
Chris Hamilton is busy behind the scenes helping in many other ways to keep FWA great. Is it any wonder that he received the 2011 President's Award at the conference? (And yours truly, Mary Ann de Stefano, was honored to receive the Vice President's Award for creating the newsletter and administering the FWA Network.)
