With the recent cancelation of the Surrey International Writers’ Conference popular cruise, the founders at The Creative Academy for Writers created an online virtual cruise to fill the void and provide an opportunity for authors.
I attended this event and in addition to offering top-notch guest speakers, master classes, question and answer sessions, writing sprints, and other fun and creative activities, it provided a much-needed place for writers and authors to connect with each other during these stressful times.
It’s a great time to work on the novel you’ve been wanting to write, pen a short story or find a workshop to learn about the business of writing.
I’m looking forward to attending two writing conferences this fall, but in the meantime, I’m using this time to connect with other writers online and perusing the offerings in several wonderful online communities.
