After lunch (around 1:00) the speaker will be Ally Robertson, from Edmond, editor with The Wild Rose Press since they opened in 2006. She is also a writing coach, freelance editor, and author, under the name Alicia Dean, with more than thirty published titles.

It will be a great networking opportunity, cozy shopping excursion for books, lunch out, and you might learn something! I’m sure it will be fun.

You must pre-register, so we have a headcount. The entire day is only $25 including lunch and will be from 9:00 to 3:00. St. Matthews is a lovely facility and just small enough to be personable, not a huge lecture hall. Parking is in the back. There will be four speakers, with four topics, lunch, and an opportunity to get acquainted with other writers.
