THERE WILL BE A 12th ANNUAL
WHIDBEY ISLAND WRITERS CONFERENCE—
BUT NOT UNTIL 2011 as we continue fund-raising.

The Saturday Chat House Mini-Conference is over and
WE CAN'T WAIT TO DO IT AGAIN!

Yes, there will be a 2011 Whidbey Island Writers Conference,
but when it is, where it is, and who's coming is still a secret.
The Planning Committee isn't quite ready to SPRING loose the details, but be prepared for a COUP in the VILLE and be ready to lift your STEIN in celebration.

The secret will be out soon so keep checking. In the meantime...

"LOVE LOVE LOVE this format...The speakers used their time very differently, but that made it even more valuable."

"...the one day fromat was really good though I wouldn't mind an excuse to stay overnight :)"
Editor Note: We'll work on that for 2011
