Writers Conference

The Dahlonega Writers Conference will feature Georgia Author of the Year
Brian Jay Corrigan (author of The Poet of Loch Ness, St. Martin's Press)
and a host of other bestselling writers. Brian and his guests will cover
everything from getting your fiction idea all the way through going on
your book tour. The conference will cover how to develop character,
atmosphere, dialogue, pace and more as well as how to find the right
agent (and what to avoid) on your way to getting your novel sold. The
conference will last all day Saturday (9 a.m-4 p.m with a lunch break)
and the registration fee includes a pre-publication copy of Corrigan's
THE SHAPE OF WORDS, his book on how to write and be published.

Brian has been writing stories since childhood and won his first national award at seventeen (with a full-length play entitled The Sound of the River). He has had a dozen of his plays produced professionally and many more productions of his work have appeared throughout the country on the amateur and semi-professional stage. His first novel, THE POET OF LOCH NESS won such prestigious honors as the Bancroft Prize in literature, The Florida First Coast Writing Award, and in 2006 Brian was named Author of the Year in the debut fiction category by the Georgia Writers Association. His work is suffused with richly drawn characters, evocative settings, and "lushly lyrical" writing. He has led an exciting life.
