Attention all aspiring authors, novelists, screenwriters and English majors! It's time to shake off those post-holiday doldrums and dust off the old Smith-Corona. The Puerto Vallarta Writers Group will hold its 6th annual Puerto Vallarta Writer's Conference at Los Mangos Library, Feb. 25th-27th, with a stellar line-up of best-selling authors, publishing experts and writing professionals prepared to share their secrets, boost your confidence and launch you on your own trajectory toward literary fame/notoriety.
Whether you want to learn the finer points of writing screenplays, need help with your romance novel or could use some practical guidance on shaping a book proposal, this year's writer's conference promises to provide plenty of practical direction for both new and seasoned writers - plus the opportunity to rub sueded elbows with others who simply love to schmooz about the written word.
This year's faculty includes:
Rick Najera - an award-winning Writer, Actor, Director, Producer and Comedian, known for his work on comedy telelvision including "MadTV" and "In Living Color."
Lisa Brackmann - author of Rock, Paper, Tiger, named by Amazon.com as one of the Top 100 books of 2010 and one of the Top 10 Mystery Thrillers of the year. Brackman has worked as an executive at a major motion picture studio, an issues researcher in a presidential campaign, and was the singer/songwriter/bassist in an LA rock band. A southern California native, she lives in Venice CA and spends a lot of time in Beijing, China. Her three cats wish she'd stay put.
Michael Bracken - Crime Fiction writer and an award-winning advertising copywriter. Bracken is the author of 11 books and more than 1,200 shorter works published in more than 150 publications. He is the editor of five crime fiction anthologies. He also provides editorial services to book and periodical publishers.
