Events of the Nebraska Writers Guild
Members are encouraged to contact the State Fair
Coordinator to sign up for "hosting" the booth for whatever time is
possible during the run of the Fair. Approximately 25,000 people walk by
that booth. We hand out fliers, talk about our organization and members
SELL BOOKS. You can obtain a discounted pass to the fair by volunteering.
2008 Fall Conference, Oct 3-4, North Platte (Belle Edwards)
The annual Fall Conference in the western half
of the state is an opportunity for our members out there to showcase their
communities and to make it easier for their rural neighbors to connect with
the Guild. The Friday evening member readings has grown into a special
social period for all involved.
2009 Spring Conference, Apr 17-18, Mahoney State Park Lodge (Mara Giles)
The annual Spring Conference has found a
suitable "home" at Eugene Mahoney State Park off I-80, between Omaha and
Lincoln, overlooking the beautiful Platte River Valley. We anticipate many
years of showing off Nebraska to speakers from the east and west coast who
will learn that our members have a lot to offer the publishing and film
industries.
