FRANKFORT, Ky. – Is there a writer in you waiting for the opportunity to come out?
Find out if you have the “write” stuff at the Dogwood Writing Conference, scheduled for May 12-13 at Greenbo Lake State Resort Park near Greenup.
The event, sponsored by the local chapter of the Romance Writers of America, will bring together several published authors and editors to discuss the ins and outs of creating and publishing prose and poetry. Among presenters will be award-winning poet Philip St. Clair and inspirational fiction writers Teresa Slack and Irene Brand.
