Having just moved to Utah I am amazed at the plethora of events, associations, etc., there are for aspiring writers. Why just last week and a half ago I attended a Writing for Charity event in Salt Lake City. This was, in all honesty, the first ever event I have gone to as a writer. Wow, have I been buried under a shell. It was incredible.
The line-up of authors included: Brandon Mull, Shannon Hale, Mette Ivie Harrison, Tracy & Laura Hickman, Ann Cannon, Kristyn Crow, Becky Hickox, Kimberley Heuston, Anne Bowen, Aprilynne Pike, Ann Dee Ellis, Mike Knudson, and Wendy Toliver.
All proceeds went to provide new wheelchairs for people in third-world countries who might otherwise never be able to have one. I think the last tally said that the event earned enough for 54 wheelchairs. Totally amazing!
Now I'm going to scour the web for what associations are available to me, as well as other writer's events and conferences. I highly recommend that, if you are an aspiring author, you do the same.
See you out on the web!!!!

What do you think of the idea of a cockroach as a professor, teach world history from the standpoint of his ancestors?
