Write on the Sound Looking for Presenters!


CALL FOR PRESENTERS

Presented by the Edmonds Arts Commission wots@ci.edmonds.wa.us


In its 27th year, Write on the Sound (WOTS) is an intimate (200 max), high quality, affordable writers’ conference that focuses on the craft of writing. A variety of classes are offered for all levels and interests. Special features include pre-conference half-day critique workshops, a keynote speaker, one-on-one manuscript critique appointments, a themed writing contest, book sales featuring books by conference presenters, a meet-and-greet reception and book signing event, and more.


A choice of workshops is offered in four time segments on Saturday & Sunday. WOTS provides a mix of sessions on how-to, motivational topics, various genre, and specialty subjects. Presenters are paid an honorarium (2011: $134 for 75 minute, $161 for 90 minute workshops). Lodging and transportation are only paid for the Keynote speaker, but a stipend is available to those traveling more than 100 miles. WOTS is held at the Frances Anderson Center (Edmonds’ Parks & Recreation facility), 700 Main Street, Edmonds WA, with outstanding views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains.

I presented at WOTS last year and had a blast. It's small, and the participants were so grateful. Also, the conference puts on a great event to meet everyone with the best spread of appetizers...
