NFB Writers Workshop
Last year at the meeting of the
National Federation of the Blind Writers
Division it was decided to hold a writers
workshop during the summer of 1986.
This workshop will take place August 8,
9, and 10 and will be held at the NFB
National Headquarters (1800 Johnson
Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21230).
Speakers for the workshop will address
both fiction and nonfiction writing; and
other topics to be discussed will include:
resources for blind writers, newsletter writing and editing, writing
as gainful employment, and we plan to
make time for manuscript critiquing. So
dust off those brilliant pieces of
writing and bring them along (in print
as well as in a form that you can read).
Registration for the workshop, payable
in advance, is $20 if paid through July
4 and $25 from then through July 25.
Advance registration (through July 25)
includes free lodging at the NFB
National Center if you request it. Most
rooms are double occupancy, so you may
need to share a room if you are coming
alone. Persons who do not need lodging
at the National Center should still
register for the workshop so that we can
have accurate attendance numbers. We
have not finalized arrangements for food
as of this writing, but every effort
will be made to make food accessible and
affordable. Ten dollars of your registration
fee will be refundable should
you cancel before July 25. All registration
information, fees, and inquiries
about workshop specifics should be
addressed to: Nancy Scott, 1141
Washington Street, Easton, Pennsylvania
18042. A copy of the registration application
appears below. And, by the
way, we plan to record as much of the workshop as possible so that people who
can't attend can still have the information.
