Write2Ignite! Conference 2012 – March 16-17, 2012 at North Greenville University

Write2Ignite! Presents Our First Contest…

The third annual Write2Ignite! conference was held on the beautiful campus of NGU on February 18-19^th, 2011.  We were blessed and challenged by wonderful speakers and presenters.  We made new friends and rekindled old friendships.  We had a delightful time!

We were so honored to have Jenni Burke, literary agent with D. C. Jacobson & Associates, with us!  She led several workshops and met one-on-one with many of our attendees.  Jenni has donated our totally fabulous grand prize!

Drum roll, please…the winner of our contest will receive…
