2010 Ontario Writers’ Conference
Schedule for the Day

As with our inaugural Ontario Writers’ Conference in 2008, for our upcoming conference, we strive to give writers a full, fun-packed day of workshops, readings and mingling, topped with delectable food. We’re offering an insightful Saturday at the fabulous Deer Creek Golf and Banquet Facility, where logistics will be overwhelmed by the beauty of the location. Speakers will inform. Workshops will instruct using interactive, hands-on communication. The Festival of Author Readings and Marketplace will cap off the event in true celebratory style. Mark your calendar for May 1, 2010!
