Ozarks Romance Authors (ORA) Writers Conference

Today's forecast for St. Peters, MO: Partly sunny, high 71 degrees. "Sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy . . ."

Missouri is a lovely place to be in the spring, and the Ozarks are especially scenic this time of year, with dogwoods, lilacs, and rosebuds in bloom. How about combining a trip to the Ozarks along with a writing conference? Here's one I found out about just last week.

Kathy Mullens, Conference Chair for the 22nd Annual Ozarks Romance Authors Writers’ Conference, e-mailed me and asked if I would spread the word about their annual conference. So, here are the particulars.

Who? Anyone can attend.

What? ORA 's Conference theme is "Committed to Write."

When? June 6, 2009, 9:00AM-3:30PM (registration 8:30-9:00)

Where? The Springfield Library Center
4653 South Campbell Avenue; Springfield, MO

How Much? Cost ranges from $40 for members to $49.

Why? Speakers, motivation, value, door prizes, contest, book signings.
