MWA-University

Just returned from participating in the "Mystery Writers of America University" event in San Francisco, and am very impressed with both the participating speakers and the attendees. A full day of talks and exercises on writing generated a lot of discussion and good questions. The focus was on the craft of writing rather than sales, and, like the audience, I learned a great deal from my fellow speakers.

Plans are being made for a day in the Denver area next year, and I heartily recommend the function to anyone who is interested in writing, whether it be the mystery genre or other forms of fiction. The MWA home page will have information about this and other venues for the "MWA-U."

    Hi Rex!

    It´s such a pleasure to hear from you and learn about the activities you´ve just been involved with. And this one - seems to be an exciting one. I´m always glad to know these events are carried out somewhere - in particular this one in San Francisco. I guess one is left with that overwhelming feeling that brings about great satisfaction after sharing both discussion and questions.
    And I wish - one day - might be - I´d have a chance to share and share alike the good experience. Or - might be - as well - one day - you could come over to the South - and let us grab you and your knowledge so firmly so that you´d be obliged for a compulsory stay among us - at least - for an entire week.

    Best wishes.
    María Inés
