Live from the 2013 Missouri Writers
Guild Conference!
By
Brad R. Cook
This
weekend writers from across the country will gather in St. Louis for the annual
Missouri Writers Guild Conference. This year’s title, Bringing Writers Together,
seems a fitting tribute to the spirit of the conference and guess what you can
be part of it too! To showcase this event and its speakers, The Writers’ Lens partnered
with St. Louis Writers Guild and Missouri Writers Guild to host a series of
live webchats. Our hope is to expand the attendees' experience with greater
depth to the workshop and highlight this wonderful conference. Plus for those
who couldn’t make it or have never been to a conference you get an inside look
at what the Missouri Writers Guild has put together and you’ll want to come
next year.
We
will conduct a series of short interviews, about 10 minutes in length, with
some of the conference’s speakers. If you watch live online you get to see the
funny outtakes as we prepare, a bit of the back stage magic, but we edit those
parts out for the final cut. More importantly, you can ask questions if you
watch the live interviews. But don’t worry, if you can’t make the live
broadcast, the interviews will be posted here on The Writers’ Lens, St. Louis Writers Guild's website and social media platforms, as well as on the Missouri
Writers Guild’s sites.
There
are several ways to participate:
Watch
live online and ask questions via text chat (a free Livestream account is
required)
Ask
questions via Twitter using @writerslens or @stlwritersguild (please tweet
during the scheduled times)
