Spring Writer's Symposium

The Idaho Creative Authors Network is getting ready to host another writing event at the Cloverdale Reception Center in Boise, Idaho on March 19 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and we are so excited!  The Spring Writers' Symposium and Writing Contest will be unique in that there will be more opportunity to network with illustrators, book coaches, and editors. We have great speakers that will be there including Lance and Pamela Thompson speaking on writing (Show, Don't Tell) and on networking. Joanna Tucker will there to speak on editing. We will have fun activities and a catered lunch along with the awards time for the writing contest.

This type of event may overwhelm some people, but you would be amazed at the encouragement you are able to get from a room full of people that all have the same interest as you: writing! It doesn't matter if you write fiction, nonfiction, music, poetry, short stories, novels,  or children's books, there is always something for everyone at an event such as this.

It has been nice to visit with people about their goals.  There are those who get overwhelmed with the thought of writing a whole book, but when they see that there is a writing contest that only has to consist of 1,200 words, that seems achievable.  It is not only fun for them, but it is fun for the judges, although can prove to be difficult as well. There is so much talent that people possess, so many stories that need to be heard!

These events are a great place to meet those who have gone before us. We can glean from their knowledge and everyone is so willing to sit down, one on one, with you and answer any questions. People are always concerned about asking a silly question, but honestly I don't think there would be a single question we have not heard yet.

If you have ever wanted to write but do not know what steps to take, let us help you! If you want to grab some information to put into your writing toolbox to be used later, come to this event! You will not be disappointed.   The whole goal of ICAN is to promote, educate, and encourage authors with a heart for writing. We reach out to the unpublished as well as the published author. Write On Write Now!
