The Lakes Area Writers Alliance (LAWA) is a community literature arts non-profit organization that works to inspire, enrich and educate writers. Made up of an alliance of writers in the Brainerd Lakes Area of Minnesota, we believe in writers helping writers. We are continually striving for creative ideas to implement when thinking about what writers need, most of all, in their writing lives.

Someone thought it’d be good to have me on two panels, "The Craft and Art of Writing" & "Life After Publication."

Lakes Area Writers Alliance is a Brainerd-based nonprofit writer's group. Each fall, they host a writer's conference. They are putting together multiple panels of authors and people in the publishing business (publicists, publishers, bookstore owners, etc.)

Friday, October 17th is a social hour and and Saturday, 18th is the full conference. It will be at Madden's on Gull Lake. With great networking opportunities and new books.
