April 25-27, 2014, Mount San Antonio College will host
its sixth annual Writers’ Weekend for aspiring writers from our college, other
California colleges, and the surrounding community. Fiction, poetry, and
creative non-fiction writers: this is your chance to network, workshop, and
create.
Manuscript Preparation
Manuscript Preparation
If
you have aspirations for publishing your work but don't know a lot about how,
learn about preparing manuscripts for publication, submitting manuscripts to
publishers, and other important information from writers who have published
their writing professionally across the country and beyond.
Panels
Our
guest speakers will discuss the issues most relevant and significant in the
writing community today, such as recent and popular trends in literature and
creative writing, topics, and themes writers are currently exploring, the
challenges writers face, and where literature may be headed in the future.
Open Mic
Open
microphone readings are a great way to celebrate and show appreciation for the
work all writers do, and, best of all, there's never any pressure to take the
microphone yourself. You can just sit back and enjoy the readings and
performances with like-minded souls.
