Came across a flyer for "Booked in LA" a convention for mystery writers and readers sponsored by Left Coast Crime. The event takes place in Los Angeles this year at the Omni Hotel from March 11 to 14. Lots of L.A. writers, including Long Beach favorites Wendy Hornsby and Jan Burke (who's one of the guests of honor. Registration is $225, but there are volunteer positions.
While I'm dreaming, I might as well mention One Writer's Place, an idyllic cottage in Cape Cod owned by author Jacqueline Mitchard. She offers workshops there for $1995, and you can also apply for one to three week residencies there. The residencies are free, except for a $150 to $250 cleaning fee. You don't need to be published, but you do need three letters of recommendation. It's not clear whether you send writing samples or not.
