Hi Renee!
I was curious about the workshop: Is it geared toward moms who want to become freelance writers, or moms who are freelance writers looking to take their work to the next level? Just trying to get a feel for the audience.
Great idea! Are you a member of LKNM?
Thanks!

Hi Kelli,
Good to hear from you! This class is mostly geared toward writer moms exploring ways to make money from their writing . . . how to break into the business mostly. But hopefully I can put together a more intermediate level workshop soon that would be more beneficial to you. I am a member of LKNM -- a.k.a. writermom.
Renee,
Hmmm, I'm still considering it. I'm having difficulties breaking into parenting magazines (Charlotte Parent doesn't seem interested in anything I submit!). And it's always good to network. I'm inclined to still come. Thoughts? Is it just for Lake Norman Mommies members (I'm not one)?
Thanks!
Kelli
Well, by all means join us! I'm sure you'll find some useful information. And I've got some good door prizes too. If you know anyone else who would be interested in coming, bring them too. I'll send you a confirmation and directions this week if you like.
Renee,
Sounds good, I'd like to come. At the very least, it's an afternoon away from the kids with adult conversation...that I can deduct as professional development!
I'll look forward to receiving directions.
See you on Saturday @ 2.
Kelli
