A BWC success story

Word comes to us from Peggy Rowe, who attended the BWC 2008 edition, of a publishing success. Her essay about her mother, "An O's Fan to the Last Pitch" appeared in the Baltimore Sun for Mother's Day. Peggy, a former school teacher from Perry Hall, writes:

Last fall I attended the Baltimore Writers Conference at Towson. The presentations on Freelance Writing and Creative Nonfiction were especially helpful to me. At the end of the day, I took advantage of a one-on-one critique session. I had brought an essay I’d recently completed, and received some very beneficial feedback. I took the suggestions, and my essay was recently printed in The Baltimore Sun.

I plan to attend the Baltimore Writers Conference again this fall. I’m hoping there will be a presentation on writing humor, my particular area of interest.
