The reason for this is that I do what I do - referring to the conference now - busting down publisher and agent doors because I want to offer as many avenues for as many writers as possible. It's a passion I have, one that was never offered to me when I began my career. To have read how many enjoy the annual and very FREE conference is simply the best thank you a gal can ask for.<br /><br />Now I need to get something else ready to go and I'll unveil that bit of news hopefully by the summer.<br /><br />Thank you, Vivian, for this touching post and connecting me to the reason why I love spending hours sending invites to publishers and agents and presenters:<br /><br />because every writer deserves a shot to network with professionals and come away with something new in their knowledge base - for FREE! WE pay enough for postage, manuscript photocopies, phone calls, and promotional material. <br /><br />Let's just have a conference week of fun and education is what I say.Lea Schizas - Author/Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00601019891218214541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6349012017649158447.post-55097691670550804412010-02-05T19:15:39.268-06:002010-02-05T19:15:39.268-06:00Hi, Lea.

Watching what she accomplishes I am convinced that Lea has found some secret dimension where she goes to pull out more then 24 hours in a day! In addition to her ability to alter time and her skills as a writer/editor, Lea knows how to encourage and give a hard push to those who need it to jump start their dreams. Lea gives her all to the things she believes in and loves, and by doing so she helps and inspires others. If you don’t believe me, just check out the Muse Writers Conference in 2010 and see for yourself.Saleemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00744620202400437545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6349012017649158447.post-53123641027331277592010-02-05T12:08:56.745-06:002010-02-05T12:08:56.745-06:00I will be indebted to Lea for life!
