Tim Sandlin of the Jackson Hole Writers Conference sent this over the weekend:
Hello Writers,
As you may well know, many writers conferences have scaled back their programs or closed their doors entirely for 2009. And people like you are finding new ways to revel in your passions during eccentric economic times. Refocus on goals and dreams. Make every moment count.
That's also what we're doing at the Jackson Hole Writers Conference, June 25-28. And that's why we are alive and well. This is our continued priority and our commitment to you. We promise you an unforgettable 2009.
Thank you to those who have already registered. We invite the rest of you to look more closely at what we have to offer. See if we're a fit.
The conference remains intimate yet powerful after 17 years. The setting, in the backyard of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, adds to the unique nature of this literary experience. We are inspired and know you will be too. Check out the lineup of speakers and workshop presenters for 2009.
As a non-profit organization, our supporters - your supporters - know this Conference is an important part of Jackson Hole's cultural community and a valuable component of many writers' lives. This commitment keeps the registration cost of our conference beyond reasonable. Our programs stay fresh and on the grow. Just last year we added a poetry track.
We thank all of you, and the publishing world at large, for keeping us on our toes, making sure your ideas are flowing toward print and that quality and creativity are always at their peak.
This is the year to visit Jackson Hole. And we're giving you the perfect excuse.
