Writers - Go from Slush to Plush at the Writers Launch Pad

The Moreno Valley Arts Commission is sponsoring the Writers Launch Pad Saturday, March 20th at 10 a.m.

The Writers Launch Pad is focused on helping writers bring their work to market, and launching their careers.
While novel writing may seem like a quieter life than those lead by our heroes and heroines - at least until it comes time to get it into print.  Learn what it takes to go from writer to published author from those who have done it.

Tuscon-based thriller writer Graham Brown (Black Rain) is winging in to tell how he navigated the jungle of agents and publishers to go from an unknown author to a multi-book contract.

Madelyn Cain is the author of three non-fiction books, the most recent being 2009's Laffit: Anatomy of a Winner.  But she didn't write the book until she sold it.  Selling a work of non-fiction is as much an art as writing the book itself.  And Cain is a master of the non-fiction book proposal - so much so that she teaches the subject in USC's Master of Professional Writing program.  Come learn what it takes to impress agents and publishers before your book is even finished.

While most events of this type cost 20 to 40 dollars, thanks to the Moreno Valley Arts Commission, the Writers Launch Pad is free.  Plus, the first 100 who pre-register will receive free admission to the museum following the event.  That's an eight dollar value.  (Many thanks to the Air Museum for their support.)


To pre-register, send an e-mail to launchpad@ericvonmizener.com before 5pm on March 19th.
