THERE’S MORE TO OPRYLAND THAN GREAT MUSIC

Nashville, T.N.—Registration is underway for the 2009 National Writers’ Empowerment Conference and Book Expo to be held on Saturday, February 21, 2009, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, in Nashville , TN. The event will be held at the Holiday Inn Select Opryland/Airport, 2200 Elm Hill Pike, Nashville , TN 37214 .

Hundreds of novice and seasoned writers from all across the country will converge on the Holiday Inn Select, Opryland/Airport in Nashville , TN to attend the Fifth Semi-Annual National Writers’ Empowerment Conference and Book Expo. Founded by prolific writer and self-publishing guru Renee Bobb (www.reneebobb.com), the conference is billed as an event where aspiring authors can not only learn about the book publishing industry, but promote and market their works as well.


This year’s theme is: “Moving Beyond the Dream to Reality.” The one major aspect that has been noticed from past conferences is that participants are not only motivated to write, market, and publish their books, but they are putting the information into action. Everyone has a story to tell but very few know the in’s and out’s of how to first write the book, then how to get their books on the market. With the help of technology and the knowledge of publishing professionals, anyone can master the art of writing and publishing a book.

The National Writers’ Empowerment Conference is uniquely designed to train the aspiring author on how to make the transition from writer to published author. This event provides the information, resources, and training that writers and authors need to write, publish, and market their books. Conference participants will have an opportunity to hone their writing skill in sessions led by established authors, editors, and publishers.

Workshop 1: Getting Organized to Write a Book
Workshop 2: Overcoming Life Obstacles and Writing Your Book
Workshop 3: Understanding Your Publishing Options
