Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $16,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
There are four informative sessions total, including “Unforgettable Characters,” “Heroes vs. Villains,” “Writing Realistic Dialogue,” and “Essentials of SciFi/Fantasty.” The schedule allows for participants to choose three of the four.
There will be also be a box lunch provided with registration fee, which will be enjoyed during a panel discussion on the difference between young adult and middle grade fiction. The conference will take place at Dobson High School in Mesa, 1501 W. Guadalupe Road.
Registration is $85, call (480) 730-0205 to secure your spot.
