lovers and screenwriters alike.  It also
supports a good cause as a portion

cozy and get inspired!).

2) San Francisco Writers Conference

This is absolutely one of my favorite
writers' conferences and this will be
our 5th year participating!

The event is February 18 - 20, 2011
at the Mark Hopkins Hotel in SF.

Join 100s of agents, editors, social
media experts and best-selling authors.
I will be speaking on the value of a
media brand and developing & marketing
cross-platform.

I know that many of our alum from
Screenwriting Career Intensive
(www.screenwritingcareer.com)
and Media Brand Workshop
(www.yourmediabrand.com) are already
planning on attending.

If this sounds like something
that might be right for you, we
look forward to seeing you there.

2) Is your Blog on Kindle?

If you write a blog you know that driving
traffic is key.  For Kindle, they want to
make sure their subscribers can get lots
of great content.

Submitting your blog to Kindle (and they
pay you based on traffic) is another way to
get your content out there and find more
fans.
