I will be sorry to miss this. I'll look forward to other such events that are a little closer to home.

I am going to try to get there a bit late--Marilyn Robinson, one of my heroines, is speaking till 5:45, so hope to see you. The event is near my neighborhood, Wicker Park!

I'll be there! Cannot wait to meet you in person, Camy, and all you other SheWriters who will be there. I'm presenting on this panel:
S118. Setting Limits: Balancing Paid Writing and Creative Writing
(Valerie Due, Matt Tullis, Jason Tucker, Ashley Bethard, Marilyn Bousquin)
Empire Ballroom, Palmer House Hilton, Lobby Level
Many writers make a living as freelancers or staff writers, switching between creative work and paid work daily. But juggling the time and creative energy needed for both can be a challenge, even if your day job bears no resemblance to your creative writing. Writers who’ve learned how to balance both writing worlds share tips, techniques, and ideas for keeping one writing realm from overwhelming the other.

I'm belated with my "good thoughts in spirit". Can't go, wish I could. Keep the invites coming ;-)

I look forward to those who can be there... and I am so amazed and impressed with what a polite group of RSVP-ers She Writers are. It is really sweet of those of you who won't be there to send your good thoughts in spirit!

This sounds great. I hope to stop by, especially because Woman Made Gallery is terrific! I'm presenting on that Friday at 1:30 in a panel called "Facts & Fallout: Creative Nonfiction in the Nuclear Age," and Tabula Poetica has a bookfair table at D-21.

Kamy:
Thank you for the invitation. I will be there and hope to meet other SheWrites women. Like Mihku Paul, I will be staying at the Palmer House.
Looking forward to meeting you at AWP!

I will be attending. I'm speaking at AWP on Feb. 29 from 9-10:30 on how writers can use social media. I'll be talking on how to write witty and relevant tweets to help you build platform. Will give a plug for She Writes too. Thx for letting us know you'll be there and would love to meet any other She Writers in person.
