Meet guest blogger, Andria Cole, the founder and organizer of the Flanked Women Writers Conference. I've blogged about Flanked before-- how could I resist. When I found out that Andria was using her Artist Grant money to put on a conference I was tres tres impressed. Most people use grant money to pay for travel to a retreat or to pay some bills, etc. Not Andria. She has a vision.

The Flanked Conference is taking place in DC. It features classes and seminars and readings by women writers and for women writers. And remember, if you write, you're a writer. As Toni Morrison once said, writing is what makes you a writer. Publihsng makes you an author and that's out of your control, but if you want to be a writer, what you must do is write and you can do that for the rest of your life.

I encourage you to read Andria's article below and sign up for FLANKED. The conference dates are August 4-6.
