HEADS UP!
Change. It happens.

 

R.J. Ellory, who was scheduled to conduct the Florida Writers Foundation's Celebrity Workshop, will not be joining us in October. Instead, the Celebrity Workshop will be presented by none other than Vic DiGenti, aka Parker Francis, the author of the Quint Mitchell Mysteries, which include Matanzas Bay, a Book of the Year in FWA's Royal Palm Literary Awards competition, and the recently released Bring Down the Furies.  

 

If you originally registered for Mr. Ellory's workshop, you're already registered for Vic's. Any questions, please contact Registration or Marketing.
